Hi ALL,

We are going to destroy a UAT server, before that we want to get the META DATA of all the objects of the entire DB.

I know, how to get it done through IMPDP, but we haven't generated any export, so kindly tell us any other idea.

Thanks
Muktha

Hi Blackswan,

Thanks for the help,

But in this method, we will have to run the script for every individual objects (function,procedure).
Am I right?

Thanks
Muktha

I would investigate writing a script that uses DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL together with querying DBA_OBJECTS, for example, that generates the dynamic SQL to fulfil your requirement.

Some, many, most Professional IT group maintain application source code, including all object's DDL, in a source code repository.
So just extract from your repository.

>Am I right?
yes, but easily accomplished by writing SQL to write SQL

Hi All,

Thanks for your help.

I would now take an full export then import the meta data through SQLFILE parameter.

What prevents from doing so?
Note SQLFILE is only for metadata not for data.

@OP, using SQLFILE will also retrieve the metadata you require.

You could use expdp to export metadata only and then use impdp with the SQLFILE to get it tp text file.
Example:

expdp / directory=MYDIR full=y CONTENT=METADATA_ONLY
impdp / directory=MYDIR full=y SQLFILE=MyMetadata.txt
