Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.misc -> Re: how to make a backup sql file for my database??
you can take cold backups of your database files with shutting down the
database first
or follow a strategy called hot backup; backing up the datafiles
while the database is up and running; setting each tablespace in
backup mode before
or you use exp/imp utilities
exp to retrieve the DDL and the DML as well
with exp and option show=y you can pipe your Schema.DDL to a file but it doesn't give to the DML which is still in the file and can only be read using imp util
see the utilities manual or the backup and recovery manual for details
