Once you've got it in a file, you can use anything, even BTEQ, to get it into a table. Writing SQL with SQL is also a good general technique. We use it for a whole lot of stuff, as in:

     SELECT 'GRANT ' || TRIM(rm.RoleName) || ' TO casimmo WITH ADMIN OPTION;'
       FROM "DBC".RoleMembers    AS rm
       LEFT OUTER JOIN DBA.Users AS u
         ON Grantee = UserName
        AND UserName = 'casimmo'
      WHERE WithAdmin = 'Y'
        AND u.UserName IS NULL
        GROUP BY 1;

See the output is set of GRANT statements. Useful if you don't already have a tool that can do stuff for you. And even some of the good tools (and there are ones out there) don't do something like this.
