Full database export

Hi there,

I know that I need EXP_FULL_DATABASE role to export full database. But if I don't have the EXP_FULL_DATABASE role, I want exp to exit with error. The problem is exp prompts and tries to read from stdin if I don't have EXP_FULL_DATABASE role. This is the command line and exp output:

    exp <username>/<password> full=y file=mydb.dmp log=mydb.log consistent=y

If I type ^D, exp terminates. I have to run exp from a script(probably a cron job), and I don't want exp to prompt. Is there any way to have exp terminate when the user does not have exp_full_database role?

Thanks in advance. Received on Wed Apr 10 2002 - 15:30:16 CDT
