I wish to restore Oracle database from .dmp file.
When I try to import this file it doesn't replace current data.
The suggestion on forum is to drop user/schema and then import .dmp.
But I don't want to do it because everything is working under System user.
So if I drop system user i'll lose access to database management.
Any ideas how to import .dmp file and replace current data ?
If you are using datapump, I think you will have to consider parameter TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION
It seems you can use TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION=REPLACE to suits your need but be careful if there are SYSTEM tables in your dump file, better target the tables where you want to replace data using the TABLES=... clause.
P.S. This way you can refresh the tables and their data exactly, but unfortunately not possible to refresh the other existing objects such as functions, procedures, packages ... etc. without dropping and recreating them through datapump import.

I'm trying to export an Oracle DB using Oracle SQL Developer having tables, sequences, view, packages, etc. with dependencies on each other.
When I use Tools -> Database Export and select all DDL options, unfortunately the exported SQL file does not preserve the other that is some DB objects should be created before some other.
Is there a way to make the DB export utility preserve object dependencies/order? Or Is there any other tool do you use for this task?
Thank you
Normally expdp does a pretty good job. Problems arise when there are dependencies on objects/users that are not part of the dump. This is because the counter part, impdp, does not add grants on objects that are not created by impdp. I call that the 'not created by me syndrome' that impdp has.
If you have no external dependencies (external meaning to schema's that are not part of the dump), expdp/impdp do a good job for you. You might not be able to use it if you can not have access to the database server since expdp writes it's files on the database server.
If you happen to have access to a database server that is able to connect to the original database, you could pull the data over into your local database using a database link.
I want to export below things from SQL developer
1-Only schema (tables structure)
2-Only data in excel form
3-Schema with data
after exporting this i want to import the same to the another database
So what steps should i follow for export and import?
I can not use DATA PUMP as i don't have DBA privilege
As you use Oracle 11g, I'd suggest you to forget about SQL Developer and use the original EXP and IMP utilities. Doing so, you'd avoid DBA-related-problems as these utilities don't require access to the directory (an Oracle object which points to (usually database server's) filesystem directory, and - in order to be able to use it - you'd need to have read/write privileges on it).
So - if you don't already have these, install Oracle Client which contains EXP/IMP and use them.
I need to create a copy of DDL and Data from an Oracle 12cR1 schema.
I can't use the SYS or other High Privileges user.
I can only use SQL DEVELOPER using the schema credentials.
The rights I have are:
Create and alter object privileges within the schema (such as CREATE
TABLE).
Insert, read, update and delete data privileges on the tables
within the schema.
Execute privileges on the stored procedures,
functions and packages within the schema.
I can use Oracle SQL Developer or other third party tool.
I have used the "Database Export" functions, but I ahve found no way to get both the DDL and the INSERT queries in the correct order. Some table have dependencies, so I need to respect a logic order for both DDL and Queries.
In my opinion, you should use a tool which is designed to do such a task, and that's Data Pump (Export & Import). It requires you to acquire privileges on a directory which resides on the database server, and that's something that a privileged (SYS) user creates and grants. If there's a DBA there, ask them to provide it for you.
If there's none, you can still use the Original EXP utility which creates a DMP file on your own computer.
The advantage of the export is that Oracle handles everything that seems to bother you.
If I were you, I wouldn't do it manually, there's really no need to do it that way. Apart from the fact that it is time-consuming, you'll have to take care about foreign key constraints, create slow INSERT INTO statements ... shortly, don't do it. Use (Data Pump) export and import.
You can disable all the constraints and triggers first, then insert the data. After data loaded, enable them all.
You can also try to use PL/SQL Developer to export the objects first. This tool exports objects in dependency order. Then export the data, but not sure it exports the data in dependency, you can try if there are disable constraints/triggers option when export.
I am going to unload the data from my table in Oracle DB to a file using oracle datapump. I am aware that I can import the file in to a different DB using datapump but would like to know if there is any other way to import or open the file?
i.e After the file is generated, I am going to send the file to my client who has no idea about Oracle DB etc. So is there any software or UI using which my client can open the file rather than using Oracle datapump to import (if no other go I will educate the client)? The reason I am going for external table etc because I have 50 million records that client wants to view.
i am newbie to oracle and i like to export database from remote database and import it on local machine. eOn both machines i have oracle 10.2.
I need to know how to export/import schema and data from oracle 10.2 using SQLDeveloper 3.0.0.4.
To export from remote database, i have used export Tool-> Database Export -> export wizard.
and at the end i have got only sql file with DDL and DML statements but somewhere in file it is written
"Cannot render Table DDL for object XXX.TABLE_NAME with DBMS_METADATA attempting internal generator error.
I have ignored previously mentioned message and tried to run those DDL and DML statements but all this ended up with errors.
Is it possible that all this tied with read-only database user? More over, i dont find any table under tables but also tables under other users in SqlDeveloper.
Thanks in advance
As a test, can you select one object in the tree, and navigate to the script panel? SQLDEV also uses DBMS_METADATA to generate those scripts.
Also, as a work-around, try using DataPump to export and import your data. It will be much more efficient for moving around larger schemas.
Your note about not seeing tables under indicates your schema doesn't actually own any tables. You may be working with synonyms that allow you to query objects as if they are in your account. You could be running into a privilege issue, but your error message doesn't indicate that. Error messages often come in bunches, and the very first one is usually the most important.
If you could try using the EXPORT feature say against a very simple schema like SCOTT as a test, this should indicate whether there is a problem with your account settings or with the software.
I'm not sure with SQL Developer 3.0 but with version 3.1 you can follow this:
SQL Developer 3.1 Data Pump Wizards (expdp, impdp)
