Exp / Imp Vs. Expdp / Impdp in Oracle Database

Advantages of DataPump Expdp & Impdp :

  • Data Pump Export and Import operations are processed in the database as a Data Pump job, which is much more efficient that the client-side execution of original Export and Import. 
  • Data Pump operations can take advantage of the server’s parallel processes to read or write multiple data streams simultaneously.
  • Data Pump differs from original Export and Import in that all jobs run primarily on the server using server processes. These server processes access files for the Data Pump jobs using directory objects that identify the location of the files. The directory objects enforce a security model that can be used by DBAs to control access to these files.
  • Datapump has a very powerful interactive command-line mode which allows the user to monitor and control Data Pump Export and Import operations.Datapump allows you to disconnect and reconnect to the session
  • Because Data Pump jobs run entirely on the server, you can start an export or import job, detach from it, and later reconnect to the job to monitor its progress.
  • Data Pump gives you the ability to pass data between two databases over a network (via a database link), without creating a dump file on disk. 
  • Datapump uses the Direct Path data access method (which permits the server to bypass SQL and go right to the data blocks on disk) has been rewritten to be much more efficient and now supports Data Pump Import and Export.
  • Another amazing feature is that you can "PAUSE" and "RESUME" data pump jobs on demand.

Difference Between Traditional Export/ Import Utility & DataPump:

  • Datapump operates on a group of files called dump file sets. However, normal export operates on a single file.
  • Datapump access files in the server (using ORACLE directories). Traditional export can access files in client and server both (not using ORACLE directories).
  • Exports (exp/imp) represent database metadata information as DDLs in the dump file, but in datapump, it represents in XML document format.
  • Datapump has parallel execution but in exp/imp single stream execution.
  • Datapump does not support sequential media like tapes, but traditional export supports.

Hi! I'm Java...

Java is a computer programming language. It enables programmers to write computer instructions using English based commands, instead of having to write in numeric codes. It’s known as a “high-level” language because it can be read and written easily by humans. Like English, Java has a set of rules that determine how the instructions are written. These rules are known as its “syntax”. Once a program has been written, the high-level instructions are translated into numeric codes that computers can understand and execute. Who Created Java? In the early nineties, Java was created by a team led by James Gosling for Sun Microsystems. It was originally designed for use on digital mobile devices, such as cell phones. However, when Java 1.0 was released to the public in 1996, its main focus had shifted to use on the Internet. It provided more interactivity with users by giving developers a way to produce animated webpages . Over the years it has evolved as a successful language for

Comparison over Intel Core 2 duo & Intel Core i3 Processor

A comparison between processors was simple some years ago with a single core processor. All you had to look at was the clocking frequency and the cache size. The entry of multiple core chips changed it all and life became complicated. With dual, quad and even six core processors hitting the market, there are many more factors to be considered, than before. Intel's dual core and core 2 duo processors were the first ones to introduce multi-core processor based computing. The quad core processors created later have given rise to the quad core vs dual core debate, as well as the core i5 vs core i7 comparison which is something that high-end computing market consumers should think about. Prior to that, we only had the 32 bit vs 64 bit processors comparison to worry about. Today, Intel has gone through a lot of designing and planning, to introduce core i3 processors that are an improvement over the core 2 duo line. The following Intel core i3 vs core 2 duo processor comparison wil

I'm the Server Operating System

Server Operating System A server operating system is software that was especially developed to serve as a platform for running multi-user computer programs, applications that are networked and programs critical to business computing. This type of operating system (OS) often comes bundled with the most common types of applications deployed in the client-server model, a term used to indicate the exchange of information between computers. For example, a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) or web server hosts or "holds" the text files, images files and scripts that work together to form a website. When someone connects to the Internet and types in a web address, the server that holds the files of the site delivers or "serves" the requested pages to the client computer or the machine that made the request. Frequently used applications in the client-server model handle operations for sharing files and printers across a network, hosting and serving web pages via the
