Part I Oracle Data Pump

The topics discussed in this part include Data Pump Export, Data Pump Import, legacy mode, performance, and the Data Pump API DBMS_DATAPUMP.

These topics are discussed:

• Overview of Oracle Data Pump
  Oracle Data Pump technology enables very high-speed movement of data and metadata from one database to another.
• Data Pump Export
  The Oracle Data Pump Export utility is used to unload data and metadata into a set of operating system files called a dump file set.
• Data Pump Import
  The Oracle Data Pump Import utility is used to load an export dump file set into a target database. You can also use it to perform a network import to load a target database directly from a source database with no intervening files.
• Data Pump Legacy Mode
  Data Pump legacy mode lets you use original Export and Import parameters on the Data Pump Export and Data Pump Import command lines.
• Data Pump Performance
  Reasons why the performance of Data Pump Export and Import is better than that of original Export and Import, and specific steps you can take to enhance performance of export and import operations.
• The Data Pump API
  The Data Pump API, DBMS_DATAPUMP.
