One of the most important things to do with any export approach:

export full=y rows=n file=skel.dmp yaddayadda....

Takes all of 5 minutes even on the largest dbs. Then use import from skel.dmp with all sorts of variations to quickly do all manner of manipulations of the original schema.

I'm rediscovering the joys of export/import right now due to a particularly prickly situation I've got to deal with at the current job...
