Hi,

I want to take schema level consistent backup using data pump (expdp).

Can you confirm the following command is correct ?

expdp system/passwd directory=flsh dumpfile=schema_user001_2.dmp logfile =schema_user001_2.log schemas=usr001 flashback_time=systimestamp

Thanks,
Srikanth

It seems correct as long as you have a flsh directory and have the access rights on it and a schema named usr001 and... you trust something you get from a forum without testing it.

It's easy:

Create a big table (cross join all_objects with itself)
Export it with flashback_time=systimestamp
Modify some/many rows in it, don't forget to commit from time to time and before the export is done
When export is done, truncate the table
Import it
Verify the imported rows don't contain the modifications you did

select * from all_objects, all_objects;

A table large enough so that you have time to update it during the export.
