Thanks Yong and Juan for the helpful info. I had also been under the misconception that data pump was consistent by default. I just wanted to add that MOS Doc ID 377218.1 also provides some detail on this topic. The Oracle documentation and expdp output is very misleading on this so I wouldn't be surprised if there are many more people out there that are also confused and unaware that their data pump exports are inconsistent. I think Oracle should either bring back the consistent=y parameter for data pump, or add an option for flashback_time=now or flashback_scn=current or something like that instead of this ridiculously long string that you have to use instead to get the same functionality:
flashback_time="to_timestamp(to_char(sysdate,'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss'),'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss')"
Maybe I'll file an enhancement request for it.
Regards,
Brandon
