Hello,

I would like to be able to read, or even execute commands on a rather large Oracle dump file, without having to install Oracle.
Can someone help me?

Thank you

    A dump is a binary file containing the instructions for the recreation/loading of the Oracle database. Therefore, on Unix, you just need to use strings on the dump to see the information in string form (character string).

    To see specific queries (allows you to view the original schema), you simply need to do:
    strings |grep create <dump_name>
