Re: Exclude one piece of data from an export

I think he's referring to the possibility of a sysdba doing the export.

AFAIR even with FGAC (fine grained access control ) all tables will be exported in full if you export all.

data is portable with oracle - you need some other way of identifying the unique combo of what makes your setup. There is no (as far as I know) method of uniquely ID Oracle in this fashion.
