Hi,
We can export the object/schema/database using expdp and also do the same thing with DBMS_METADATA package. Can you please tell me what is the diffrence between these two? What are the additional advantages for DBMS_METADATA ?
Regards,
Madhavi.

Using DBMS_METADATA you can choose your objects and their parameters more finely.

DNMS_METADATA will only export the structures of objects - expdb will export data as well.

Hi,
I want to export the metadata of database/schema/object. I need to use DBMS_METADATA. By using expdp, datapump also we can do the same. Could you please tell me why this is preferable? any additional advantages? Please send me link if any.

In the same way, in my next requirement, i need to use DBMS_DATAPUMP to export/import the data of database/schema/object. In this case why it is preferable?

Why expdp, dbms_datapump not preferable in 1st case and why expdp is not preferable for 2nd case?

Regards,
Madhavi.

Read what have been said.

There is no for your specific question. Read the documentation about the 2 features.

If you want to get ALL stuff, use datapump.

Which first case, which second case?

The preferable is the one you know how to use to fit the requirements you have.
