How NOT to EXPort a specific table when FULL=Y?

We use a method for updating our test instance whilst excluding the = biggest few tables.

It probably isn't supported by Oracle and make sure you test it and = understand the gotchas - eg you don't get the table but you do get the = views based on the table which will be invalid - so you need to recreate = the table & indexes and then recompile everything (or pre-create the = table).

Anyway, create a custom version of catexp.sql (ie = ?\rdbms\admin\catexp.sql).
-- Update views exu81obj + exu81tabs - add o$.name NOT IN ('x','y')

• View exu8usr would need altering if wanted to exclude a particular = user.

Note that I got the original idea from Nov 2002 Oracle-L postings by = Arup Nanda + Kirti Deshpande - subject "export in full mode but exclude = particular user".

Then have a script that does the export
run your custom catexp-nobig.sql
run export
run standard catexp.sql

Obviously don't do this at the same time someone else (scheduled job?) = is trying to do a normal export (eg full) that involves those tables.

HTH,
