Oracle Data Pump in Oracle Database

Oracle Data Pump is a utility for exporting and importing data and objects from Oracle databases. It is faster and more flexible than previous utilities like exp and imp. Data Pump allows exporting to file or external tables and provides a PL/SQL API. Examples show how to use Data Pump to export the EMPLOYEE table from the HR schema and import it back, and how to perform full database exports in parallel mode. Parameters like INCLUDE and EXCLUDE allow filtering objects in exports.

Oracle Data Pump in Oracle Database

Oracle Database have new Data Pump utility, which is faster and more flexible as
compaire to the "exp" and "imp" utilities used in old Oracle database releases. In
addition to basic import and export functionality data pump provides a PL/SQL API
and support for external tables. Here some simple data pump examples using
expdp and impdp utility.

1. Create a DIRECTORY, Grant on DIRECTORY (useing directory name as


"datadir","datadump")

Create directory at the OS Level

$ cd /oradisk
$ mkdir datadump

$ sqlplus /nolog
SQL> connect /as sysdba

SQL> DROP DIRECTORY datadump;


SQL> CREATE DIRECTORY datadump AS '/oradisk/datadump';
SQL> GRANT READ,WRITE ON DIRECTORY datadump TO HR;

Export the EMPPLOYEE table from the HR user

$ expdp hr/hr directory=datadump tables=hr.employee


SQL> Drop table employee purge;

Import the .DMP file back into the HR user.

$ impdp hr/hr directory=datadump tables=employee

Check employee table after completing import.

$ sqlplus hr/hr
Sql> select * from employee;

1. Examples: Performing a table mode export

expdp system/ TABLES=sh.costs,sh.sales DUMPFILE=datadir:table.dmp


NOLOGFILE=Y

2. Examples: Performing a table mode export


expdp system/oracle SCHEMAS=sh,hr DUMPFILE=datadir:schema%U.dmp
LOGFILE=datadir:expschema.log

3. Example - Performing a Parallel Full Database Exportexpdp system/oracle


FULL=Y DUMPFILE=datadir:fullexp%U.dmp, FILESIZE=2g PARALLEL=4
LOGFILE=datadir:expfull.log JOB_NAME=expfull

The FULL parameter indicates that the export is a full database mode export. All
data andmetadata in the database are exported.

The PARALLEL parameter specifies the maximum number of threads of


activeexecution operating on behalf of the export job. This parameter enables you
to maketrade-offs between resource consumption and elapsed time. For best
performance, thevalue specified for PARALLEL should be at least as large as the
number of output filesspecified with the DUMPFILE parameter. Each Data Pump
execution thread writesexclusively to one file at a time.

The PARALLEL parameter is valid only in the Enterprise Edition of the Oracle
database.To increase or decrease the value of PARALLEL during job execution, use
interactivecommandmode that is described in the example below.The FILESIZE
parameter will limit the maximum size of each dump file to 2 gigabytes.

You can query DBA_DATAPUMP_JOBS to monitor the current jobs.

SQL> select * from dba_datapump_jobs;

The INCLUDE and EXCLUDE parameters can be used to limit the export/import to
specific objects. When the INCLUDE parameter is used, only those objects specified
by it will be included in the export. When the EXCLUDE parameter is used all objects
except those specified by it will be included in the export.

expdp scott/tiger schemas=SCOTT include=TABLE:"IN ('EMP', 'DEPT')"


DUMPFILE:SCOTT.dmp LOGFILE=datadump:expdpSCOTT.log
expdp scott/tiger schemas=SCOTT exclude=TABLE:"= 'BONUS'"
DUMPFILE:SCOTT.dmp LOGFILE=datadump:expdpSCOTT.log
