Oracle data extractor

A command line application for running queries against an Oracle database. Query results can be treated like the output from any command line application (redirected to a file or piped through another command). This utility is especially handy for creating character delimited extract files, and is significantly simpler to use and configure than SQL/Plus. The Oracle data extractor is written in the perl programming language and includes support for long data types. Get it here.
