The only thing I don't have an automated tool for when working with Oracle is a program that can create INSERT INTO scripts.
I don't desperately need it so I'm not going to spend money on it. I'm just wondering if there is anything out there that can be used to generate INSERT INTO scripts given an existing database without spending lots of money.
I've searched through Oracle with no luck in finding such a feature.
It exists in PL/SQL Developer, but errors for BLOB fields.

To insert data into Oracle tables using SQL-Plus, you must be logged on to the server. Data can be added to tables via the INSERT statement. Remember that this inserts data one row at a time. You can create your INSERT statements in notepad or other similar editor, and copy them into the SQL-Plus editor.
The simplest way to create an Oracle INSERT query to list the values using the VALUES keyword. For example: INSERT INTO suppliers (supplier_id, supplier_name) VALUES (5000, 'Apple'); This Oracle INSERT statement would result in one record being inserted into the suppliers table.
Data InsertionThe INSERT command can also take the values directly from another table using 'SELECT' statement rather than giving the values for each column. Through 'SELECT' statement, we can insert as many rows as the base table contains. Syntax: BEGIN INSERT INTO <table_name>(<column1 >,<column2>,...
You can do that in PL/SQL Developer v10.
1. Click on Table that you want to generate script for.
2. Click Export data.
3. Check if table is selected that you want to export data for.
4. Click on SQL inserts tab.
5. Add where clause if you don't need the whole table.
6. Select file where you will find your SQL script.
7. Click export.

Oracle's free SQL Developer will do this:

You just find your table, right-click on it and choose Export Data->Insert
This will give you a file with your insert statements. You can also export the data in SQL Loader format as well.
