Hi All,

We all know about the new feature introduced in Oracle 11g ie. "Deffered Segment Space management" in which there in no segment allocated to table which is empty, which means that only the data is going to be inserted in the table the first segment is going to be allocated.

I created a user assinged a default tablespace to it, created 3 tables, two of them having data and 1 empty table.

When I did export using the export utility, I found that the empty table was not included however the same situation contradicted when I did the export using "EXPDP".

I want to know is the samething of tables missing in export happen in RMAN backup of the tablespace which I have assigned to that user.

Thanks
Deepak

1/ It is the expected behaviours (for both exp and expdp)
2/ Yes, the table does NOT exist in the tablespace, just in Oracle dictionary (just like a view)

Right.
If you need this ask Oracle to create the segment when you create the table:
CREATE TABLE ... SEGMENT CREATION IMMEDIATE ...
or set it at instance/session level:
ALTER SYSTEM/SESSION SET DEFERRED_SEGMENT_CREATION=false;

I took the RMAN backup of the tablespace assingned as default to the user.

Take the tablespace offline, deleted the datafile and then restore the tablespace from the RMAN backup but the empty table was still there. WHY?

Thanks
