it is not that hard, but I only do it myself if there is no other way. Normaly 
it is no problem to copy a table to file, so anyone who uses the
ingres sql terminal can make a copy like this:
"copy table myTable() into 'filename'"

Before I start doing it myself, I ask!

So, from my point of view it is not obvious, why this command should
not work with OpenAPI and I ask again, if anybody >knows< that this
won't work.

Many thanks again
Rolf
