@ Bernie, cool might just do that!

@ Steve, I did, I will post em up.

@ AD Splice. Yes it would be quite easy to export the entire DB to .tar or .gz without need for the names of tables. I’m long enough using MySql to have an idea.

Your request is going to be denied in accordance with the FOI legislation anyway.

We use Exchequer funding to teach Oracle databases. If you’re interested, we can help you formulate a more precise request for Oracle expense data.
