i just came across an old post on this forum ( nov 2000 ) that describes backing up a table in a database this way:

\"select * from table into outfile \'foo\' \"

my question is, how do i sanely re-insert this outfile back into the database? in oracle there are tools galore that allow export scripts that contain correct SQL, but the file that resulted from my backup has no SQL in it...
