Hi,
I am currently working on a project where we have to offload data from
the production database and store the data on tapes. In the future, if
the data is ever requested, it has to be either imported back into the
production database or imported into a dummy database so that it can be
queried. Since we only want to export certain rows from a table there
are extra steps involved with using the export command. The only way
that we have come up with to accomplish this would be to do the
following steps:
1. Create a new table containing only the rows that need to be exported
using
the CREATE AS statement.
2. Add the constraints to the newly created table.
3. Export the new table.
4. When export has terminated successfully, drop the new table.
5. Delete the rows that have been exported from the data tables.
I was wondering if anyone knew of alternate ways of offloading data onto
tapes that can be later loaded back into a database without having to
use the export/import commands. Or if anyone knows of an alternate
method of accomplishing this by using the export/import commands.
Thanks,
Kerri Adams
