Loading the exported data into a database. Export is an Oracle utility designed to extract data from the database an place it into a custom-formatted export file for import later on.

Go to Oracle's online documentation (at http://otn.oracle.com >> Documentation [icon at top]) and look for the list of manuals. Dig out the Utilities manual (gives details of export and import) and the Concepts manual (look at the table of contents for interesting chapters.) Then you will have a better understanding of the questions you asked.
