FYI to anyone who runs into problems  there is a bug in CSV timestamp export that I just spent a few hours working around   Some fields I needed to export were of type timestamp  It appears the CSV export option even in the current version  3 0 04 as of this posting  fails to put the grouping symbols around timestamps   Very frustrating since spaces in the timestamps broke my import   The best workaround I found was to write my query with a TO CHAR   on all my timestamps  which yields the correct output  albeit with a little more work   I hope this saves someone some time or gets Oracle on the ball with their next release

Not exactly  exporting   but you can select the rows  or Ctrl-A to select all of them  in the grid you d like to export  and then copy with Ctrl-C   The default is tab-delimited  You can paste that into Excel or some other editor and manipulate the delimiters all you like   Also  if you use Ctrl-Shift-C instead of Ctrl-C  you ll also copy the column headers
