Additional /dataexport Arguments

This topic gives detailed description of command line switches and examples of their usage.

Arguments

To get more information on switches related to data export through the command-line interface, type:

"C:\Program Files\Devart\dbForge Studio for Oracle\dbforgeoracle.com" /dataexport /?

Note

The path to the executable file will differ depending on how you have installed the Studio - as a standalone tool or as part of the dbForge Edge bundle. Make sure that you have specified a correct path. If you have installed the Studio as part of dbForge Edge, change the path accordingly:
C:\Program Files\Devart\dbForge Edge\dbForge Studio for Oracle>dbforgeoracle.com

connection

Use this switch to specify a connection string. Command usage looks like:

/connection:<connection_string>

errormode

During export to the server, the value of the option will be generated as the table’s name in INSERT queries.

When exporting to the SQL format, inserts will be generated to a file specified by the /singlefile parameter.
