Dumping user table contents with a Data tool

The steps needed to dump user table contents are similar to those for dumping table contents and sequence values.

To dump user table contents:

Access the appropriate Data tool (the Data Administration tool if you are using a graphical interface or the Data Dictionary if you are using a character interface).
Make sure you are using the database from which you want to dump the table data.
Choose Admin Dump Data and Definitions User Table Contents. The Data tool prompts you for the file to write the user file contents to. The default filename is _user.d.
Specify the filename or accept the default. After dumping the user file contents to the specified file, the Data tool displays a status message and prompts you to continue.
Choose OK to return to the Data Administration or Data Dictionary main window.
