Datapump
From Oracle FAQ
(Redirected from Data Pump)
⧼orafaq-jumptonavigation⧽⧼orafaq-jumptosearch⧽
Datapump is a server based bulk data movement infrastructure that supersedes the old import and export utilities. The old export/import tools are still available, but do not support all Oracle 10g, 11g and 12c features. The new utilities are named expdp and impdp.
Start using datapump export
$ expdp scott/tiger DIRECTORY=dmpdir DUMPFILE=scott.dmp Export: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production on Friday, 31 March, 2006 11:36:07 Copyright (c) 2003, 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved. Connected to: Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production With the Partitioning, OLAP and Data Mining options ORA-39002: invalid operation ORA-39070: Unable to open the log file. ORA-39087: directory name DMPDIR is invalid
Oops, we need to create a directory first!
Create database directories
Execute the following commands to create a database directory. This directory must point to a valid directory on the same server as the database:
SQL> CREATE DIRECTORY dmpdir AS '/opt/oracle'; Directory created.
SQL> GRANT read, write ON DIRECTORY dmpdir TO scott; Grant succeeded.
PS: Oracle introduced a default directory from 10g R2, called DATA_PUMP_DIR, that can be used:
SQL> SELECT directory_path FROM dba_directories WHERE directory_name = 'DATA_PUMP_DIR'; DIRECTORY_PATH -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /app/oracle/product/10.2.0/rdbms/log/
Let's try the export again

Network import
With network mode imports, one doesn't need any intermediate dump files (GREAT, no more FTP'ing of dump files). Data is exported across a database link and imported directly into the target database. Example:
SQL> create user new_scott identified by tiger; User created. SQL> grant connect, resource to new_scott; Grant succeeded. SQL> grant read, write on directory dmpdir to new_scott; Grant succeeded. SQL> grant create database link to new_scott; Grant succeeded.
SQL> conn new_Scott/tiger Connected. SQL> create database link old_scott connect to scott identified by tiger using 'orcl.oracle.com'; Database link created.
impdp new_scott/tiger DIRECTORY=dmpdir NETWORK_LINK=old_scott remap_schema=scott:new_scott
All work is performed on the target system. The only reference to the source systems is via the database link.
Invoking from PL/SQL
One can invoke datapump from PL/SQL -- this might be handy for scheduling a daily or weekly export with DBMS_SCHEDULER.
DECLARE
hand NUMBER;
BEGIN
hand := Dbms_DataPump.Open(operation => 'EXPORT',
job_mode => 'FULL',
job_name => 'FULLEXPJOB',
version => 'COMPATIBLE');
Dbms_DataPump.Add_File(handle => hand,
filename => 'expdp_plsql.log',
directory => 'DMPDIR',
filetype => 3);
Dbms_DataPump.Add_File(handle => hand,
filename => 'expdp_plsql.dmp',
directory => 'DMPDIR',
filetype => 1);
-- Dbms_DataPump.Set_Parameter(handle => hand,
-- name => 'ESTIMATE',
-- value => 'STATISTICS');
Dbms_DataPump.Start_Job(hand);
END;

Utilities
McDP is a program that does more than expdp and impdp:
32-bit McDP
64-bit McDP
You can post comments in Forum topic: McDP: like expdp/impdp Data Pump programs and much more.
