About the Unload Database menu options
The Unload Database menu options let you unload either the schema or the schema and data from the relational database.
A SQL command file is created that can be used to rebuild the database. If the data is also included in the unload, a set of data files in comma-delimited format is created.
The Unload Database menu contains the following options.
