Cool. Thanks Helen.

Actually, to tell the truth, this might not be ideal for me...(my
fault for not explaining myself properly).

I have an app which generates a list of TDBObject's which represent
each object inside the database (tables, procedures, triggers,
constraints, indexes, etc) and the dependencies for each object.

Now what I want is the ability to populate each object with it's
corresponding ddl.

Calling Extract for every object and using the filter will take a
long time. :o(

I realise I could call Extract once and generate the ddl for
everything in a single script and then parse the data but that would
mean writing parsing utils and there's no garauntee it'd be fast
enough either...

Is there a way I can do this in a timely fashion? /:o)
