Advantages of SPFILE over pFile in Oracle?

SPFILEs provide the following advantages over PFILEs:

An SPFILE can be backed-up with RMAN (RMAN cannot backup PFILEs)
Reduce human errors. The SPFILE is maintained by the server. Parameters are checked before changes are accepted.
Eliminate configuration problems (no need to have a local PFILE if you want to start Oracle from a remote machine)
Easy to find - stored in a central location

Exp/ Imp vs. ExpDP/ ImpDP in Oracle 10g

ORACLE Export (exp) vs Datapump (expdp) ORACLE provides two external utilities to transfer database objects from one database to another database. Traditional exports (exp /imp) are introduced before 10g. Then from 10g, ORACLE introduced datapump (expdp / impdp) as an enhancement to traditional export utility. Traditional Export (exp/ imp) This is an ORACLE database external utility, which is used to transfer database objects from one database server to another database server. It allows transferring the database objects over different platforms, different hardware and software configurations. When an export command is executed on a database, database objects are extracted with their dependency objects. That means if it extracts a table, the dependences like indexes, comments, and grants are extracted and written into an export file (binary format dump file). Following is the command to export a full database, Cmd > exp userid=username/password@exportdb_...

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 ...
