Datapump est un utilitaire qui permet de transférer des données entre une base Oracle…et une base Oracle ! (il correspond aux anciens utilitaires export/import d’Oracle V9 et précédentes)

DataPump export : extrait des données
DataPump import : injecte des données (préalablement exportées)

Les 2 executables correspondants ‘expdp’ et ‘impdp’ se trouvent comme les autres dans le répertoire bin sous ‘ORACLE_HOME’ (indifferemment sous Unix ou Windows)

syntaxe :
expdp KEYWORD=value or KEYWORD=(value1,value2,…,valueN)
Exemple:
expdp scott/tiger DUMPFILE=scott.dmp DIRECTORY=dmpdir SCHEMAS=scott

Datapump et PLSQL

Il existe un package SYS.DBMS_DATAPUMP, fourni avec Oracle 10g, qui offre un certain nombre de procédure pour executer / automatiser les transfert de données en PLSQL.
Voici un tout petit exemple :

DECLARE
hand NUMBER;
BEGIN
hand := Dbms_DataPump.Open(operation => ‘EXPORT’,
job_mode => ‘FULL’,
job_name => ‘FULLEXPJOB’,
version => ‘COMPATIBLE’);
Dbms_DataPump.Add_File(handle => hand,
filename => ‘expdp_plsql.log’,
directory => ‘DMPDIR’,
filetype => 3);
Dbms_DataPump.Add_File(handle => hand,
filename => ‘expdp_plsql.dmp’,
directory => ‘DMPDIR’,
filetype => 1);
– Dbms_DataPump.Set_Parameter(handle => hand,
– name => ‘ESTIMATE’,
– value => ‘STATISTICS’);
Dbms_DataPump.Start_Job(hand);
END;
