 DATA PUMP

• New Feature Of Datapump.

• How Does Datapump Access Data.
• Accessing Data Over a Network.
• What Happens During Execution of Datapump.
• Monitoring Job Status.
• File Allocation.
• Original Export & Import [VS] Datapump Export & Import.

 NEW FEATURE OF DATA PUMP

• Data pump takes the old export and import one step further, you can have
total control over the job running (stop it, pause it, check it, restart it).

• The new data pump export and import utility has a very similar look and feel
to original export and import utilities but they are completely different.

• Dump files generated by the original export utility can not imported by the
data pump import utility.

• Data pump can transfer large amounts of data very quickly, using parallel
streams to achieve maximum throughput, they can be 15-45% faster than
the older import/export utilities.

 ADVANTAGES O F D ATA P UMP

• Ability to estimate jobs times

• Ability to restart failed jobs
Every Data Pump job creates a Master Table in which the entire record of
the job is maintained. The Master Table is the directory to the job, so if a
job is stopped for any reason, it can be restarted at a later point in time,
without losing any data.
• Perform fine-grained object selection
• Monitor running jobs
• Directly load a database from a remote instance via the network
• Remapping capabilities
• Improved performance using parallel executions

One can use Data pump for the following
• Migrating databases
• Copying databases
• Transferring oracle databases between different operating systems
• Backing up important tables before you change them
• Moving database objects from one tablespace to another
• Transporting tablespaces between databases
• Reorganizing fragmented table data
• Extracting the DDL for tables and other objects such as stored procedures
and packages

 COMPONENTS OF DATAPUMP
Data pump technology consists of three major components

• Dbms_Datapump - the main engine for driving data dictionary metadata

loading and unloading

• Dbms_Detadata - used to extract the appropriate metadata

• Command-Line - expdp and impdp are the import/export equivalents

DOYENSYS
 DATA ACCESS METHODS

• Direct Path - Bypasses the database buffer cache and writes

beyond the high water mark when finished adjusts the high water mark No
undo is generated and can switch off redo as well, minimal impact to users
as does not use SGA. Must disable triggers on tables before use.

• External Path - Uses the database buffer cache acts as a

SELECT statement into a dump file, during import reconstructs statements
into INSERT statements, so whole process is like a normal SELECT or
INSERT job. Both undo and redo are generated and uses a normal
COMMIT just like a DML statement would.

DOYENSYS
In the following cases oracle will use the external path

• Clustered tables
• Active triggers in the table
• A single partition in a table with a global index
• Referential integrity constraints
• Domain indexes on LOB columns
• Tables with fine-grained access control enabled in the insert mode
• Tables with BFILE or opaque type columns

You will use three types of files when using data pump, all
files will be created on the server.

• Dump files - Holds the data and metadata

• Log files - The resulting output from the data pump command

• Sql files - contain the DDL statements describing the objects included in
the job but can contain data

 RUNNING A DATA PUMP
Create a directory dump where all your exported .dmp files will be stored
from OS then create a link to these directories from the sqlprompt like
sql> create directory dump as ‘/u01/backup/datapump /dump’;. Only
the user who created this directory has the rights to export the dmp files to
this directories. If the some other users try’s to access this directory means
the oracle engine will return a error stating that unable to open the log
file and invalid file operation. With the help of the table dba_directories
we check the owner of the directory, directory name and directory path.
Finally Check that the user oracle has the access to write inside that
directory.

Select owner,directory_name,directory_path from dba_directories;

 GRANTING PRIVILEGES

The user SCOTT is been granted with full database export/import

privileges. Granting the privilege can be done only by sysdba.

DOYENSYS
 EXPORTING
• Exporting a Full Fatabase
expdp Scott/tiger FULL=y DIRECTORY=datapump
DUMPFILE=full.dmp LOGFILE= full. log

• Exporting a Schema
expdp Scott/tiger SCHEMAS=SCOTT DIRECTORY=datapump
DUMPFILE= scott.dmp LOGFILE= Scott. log

• Exporting a Tablespace
expdp Scott/tiger TABLESPACES=USERS DIRECTORY=datapump
DUMPFILE = TSusers.dmp LOGFILE= TSusers.log

• Exporting a Table
expdp Scott/tiger TABLES=SCOTT.DEPT,SCOTT.EMP
DIRECTORY=datapump DUMPFILE= table.dmp LOGFILE=table. log

DOYENSYS
 IMPORTING
• Importing a Full Database
impdp hr/hr DUMPFILE= full.dmp FULL=y LOGFILE = full.log

• Importing a Schema
impdp hr/hr SCHEMAS= hr,oe DIRECTORY=dpump_dir1 LOGFILE =
schemas.log DUMPFILE= expdat.dmp

• Importing a Tablespace
impdp hr/hr TABLESPACES=tbs1,tbs2,tbs3,tbs4 DIRECTORY=dump
DUMPFILE=tbs.dmp LOGFILE=tbs.log

• Importing a Table
impdp Scott / Scott TABLES=DEPT,EMP DIRECTORY=dump
DUMPFILE=table.dmp LOGFILE=table.log

• Monitoring Data Pump Jobs

The dba_datapump_jobs table will help you to view the owner_name,
job_name, job_mode, state, degree and etc. If there is some export and
import job is currently active if there are no jobs active now means then it
will return the message no rows selected.

DOYENSYS
• Monitoring the Data Pump sessions

The dba_datapump_sessions table will help us to find which session is

having a problem for further information we can join the v$session view.
While any job is running this view will show the owner who is executing
the job and job name ,saddr and the session type.

DOYENSYS
• Monitoring the Session_longops

This view helps us to view how well a data pump export is doing. Basically
gives us the progress monitor through the message column.

 DATA PUMP VS IMPORT / EXPORT

If you are familiar with the original Export (exp) and Import (imp)
utilities, it is important to understand that many of the concepts behind
them do not apply to Data Pump Export (expdp) and Data Pump Import
(impdp). In particular:

• Data Pump Export and Import operate on a group of files called a dump
file set rather than on a single sequential dump file.

• Data Pump Export and Import access files on the server rather than on the
client. This results in improved performance. It also means that directory
objects are required when you specify file locations.

DOYENSYS
• Data Pump Export and Import use parallel execution rather than a single
stream of execution, for improved performance. This means that the order
of data within dump file sets is more variable.

• Data Pump Export and Import represent metadata in the dump file set as
XML documents rather than as DDL commands. This provides improved
flexibility for transforming the metadata at import time.

• Data Pump Export and Import are self-tuning utilities. Tuning parameters
that were used in original Export and Import, such as BUFFER and
RECORDLENGTH, are neither required nor supported by Data Pump
Export and Import.

• At import time there is no option to perform interim commits during the

restoration of a partition. This was provided by the COMMIT parameter in
original Import.

DOYENSYS
• There is no option to merge extents when you re-create tables. In original
Import, this was provided by the COMPRESS parameter. Instead, extents
are reallocated according to storage parameters for the target table.

• Sequential media, such as tapes and pipes, are not supported.

• When you are importing data into an existing table using either APPEND
or TRUNCATE, if any row violates an active constraint, the load is
discontinued and no data is loaded. This is different from original Import,
which logs any rows that are in violation and continues with the load.
