Re: How to perform an exp/imp within a stored procedure?

With Oracle version 10g (and on platforms where the feature works) you can execute OS level scripts as jobs submitted by the scheduler: dbms_scheduler.

With 8i and 9 you could use an external progam call or a java program. Prior to this you used a daemon program that received messages or signals via the dbms_pipe, dbms_alert, or utl_file packages.
