Oracle Tips by Burleson

Oracle 10g new Oracle utilities

In this chapter, we will introduce two new Oracle Database 10g Utilities and some improvements on the existing utilities. 

New Data Pump Utility – Oracle 10g Database Server now enables very high-speed data and metadata loading and unloading to and from Oracle 10g using its new Data Pump utility.  You can now use this utility instead of the original Export and Import utilities.

New Scheduler Utility – Oracle 10g now helps database administrators and application developers simplify their management tasks while providing a rich set of functionality for complex scheduling needs with its new Scheduler utility. You can now use this new utility instead of the dbms_job Package. 

SQL*Plus Enhancements – Oracle 10g offers an enhanced SPOOL command, which includes the APPEND option. New predefined variables exist for the username, connection privilege, and current date.  This feature lets you identify the schema, privilege, and current date at the user prompt.
