What are the original Export and Import
Utilities?
- The import and export utilities of oracle provide a very
simple way to transfer data objects between Oracle databases.
These may reside on heterogeneous software and hardware platforms.
- The exported data objects are extracted and written to an
export dump file.
- The Import utility reads the object definitions and table data
from the dump file.
- An export file is an Oracle binary-format dump file located on
disk or tape which can be transferred by using FTP or physically
transported. They can then be used with the Import utility to
transfer data between databases on a single system. The files can
also be used as backups in addition to normal backup procedures.
- Export and Import utilities are now being replaced by Data
Pump Export and Import utilities in Oracle 10g.
