And for versions 8.1 and earlier you could just say:

set pagesize 0
spool backup.lst
select text
from dba_source
where owner =3D 'SCHEMA_OWNER'
order by name, type, line ;

But in general the in-house written source code was put in a source = control system, and the third-party source code would be retrieved from = a database backup if necessary.

I would share with the complaining DBA in your group the mantra I repeat = to myself now that I'm learning SQL Server basics (from Thomas Kyte's = book): understand your database, know how it works, know what it can do = for you, and use it to its fullest potential. My corollary - don't = complain about what the database doesn't do, but look for the things = that it does well.
