expdp is a server side utility used to unload database data into a set of OS files called a 'dump file set'. The dump file set can be imported only by the Data Pump Import utility impdb. The dump file set can be imported on the same system or it can be moved to another system and loaded there.

The dump file set is made up of one or more disk files that contain table data, database object metadata, and control information.

The directory objects must be created before running expdb.

The directory objects must be created before running expdb.

Example

CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY export_dir AS '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/';
GRANT READ, WRITE ON DIRECTORY export_dir TO demouser;
expdp system/password@sid full=Y directory=export_dir dumpfile=ss64.dmp logfile=exp_ss64.log

To export only a selection of schemas or tables, replace the full=Y in the above with schemas=USER1,USER2 or tables=TABLE1,TABLE2 etc
