Re: EXPORT WITH QUERY CLAUSE in win NT

Ramesh,
The command works on Linux but requires the "special" characters be escaped as described in the doc's.
http://otn.oracle.com/doc/oracle8i_816/server.816/a76955/ch01.htm#37997

exp scott/tiger tables=emp query=\"where job=\'SALESMAN\' and sal\<1600\"

Note: Because the value of the QUERY parameter contains blanks, most operating systems require that the entire strings
where job=\'SALESMAN\' and sal\<1600 be placed in double quotation marks or marked as a literal by some method.
Operating system reserved characters also need to be preceded by an escape character. See your operating system-specific
documentation for information about special and reserved characters on your system.

If you do not use the escapes it gives confusing error messages that do not lead to the correct answer:EXP-000019, LRM-00101 unknown parameter..

I don't remember export supporting queries. Why don't you create a temp table or tables, eg. create table t_linemto as select * from linemto where PROJ_CODE='CF-804', and then export the temp tables?

Hi list

I want to export few tables with a common column in all. My OS is WinNT and db version is Oracle 8.1.6

I am using the folling command

exp username/password_at_nts7 tables=(linemto,specs,specmast,password) file=c:\MTO.DMP QUERY="where PROJ_CODE='CF-804'"

It gives me the following error:
EXP-00019: failed to process parameters, type 'EXP HELP=Y' for help EXP-00000: Export terminated unsuccessfully

Where I am missing? Can someone correct me. Regards,
