We are using Oracle 9i and we want to use the export utility to export the database. I'm not familiar with the exp syntax. Can you just tell me how to write the syntax for the exp utility? We want to take a full database backup.
If you want to export the entire contents of the database, then use the following:
exp userid=system/manager file=full_exp.dmp full=y
There are many other parameters for the exp utility. You can find all of the parameters documented in the
Oracle documentation.
