With Oracle, everything is difficult. Their export utility does not have
a way to dump things as a series of INSERT commands, nor as tab-delimited
data. There are other tools/scripts around that can do this, but as a
general rule, the word "difficult" is one of the more mild adjectives
usually found in the same sentence as "Oracle utility". :)
