10.6.1 Importing and Exporting Data to and from the Oracle Database
You can use the Oracle Export utility to write data from an Oracle database to an operating system file
in binary format. The file is stored outside the database and read to another Oracle database by using the
Import utility. For more information about using Oracle Import and Export utilities, refer to the Oracle9i
Utilities document. Alternatively, use the Oracle Enterprise Manager to import and export data.
The Export utility provides a simple way to transfer data objects between Oracle databases. The Export
utility extracts the object definitions and table data from an Oracle database and stores them in an Oracle
binary-format export dump file located on disk or on tape.
The export dump file is sent by using FTP—or, if on tape, physically transported—to a different site. By
using the Import utility, the export dump file is transferred between databases that reside on machines
not connected through a network.
Note Only the Oracle Import utility can read export dump files.
