Oracle-L: Dump table to file, edit and reimport

In Sybase's ASA there was an "unload" command which wrote to a text file the SQL to recreate a table, along with all it's data which running the SQL then imported. This allowed you to very easily dump a table, edit it's structure and suck the data back in.

The closest thing I've found in Oracle is right-clicking on a table | Data Management | Export. However, we're not running the Oracle Management Server (just because we don't know how to set that up yet), so this functionality isn't available.

Barring installing OMS, is there a quick and dirty way to do this?

And, if the answer is "no", is OMS easy to set up? Thanks!
