The solution for Oracle 11g R2 to export empty tables with exp is a new feature in 11G R2. When there is no data in the table, no segment is allocated to save space. Of course, when Oracle executes export, empty tables cannot be exported, but there is still a solution: 1. insert a row and then roll back to generate a segment. This method inserts data into an empty table and then deletes it, resulting in a segment. An empty table can be exported. 2. Set the deferred_segment_creation parameter. The default value of this parameter is TRUE. When it is set to FALSE, segment is allocated to both empty tables and non-empty tables. Modify the SQL statement: alter system set deferred_segment_creation = false scope = both; www.2cto.com note that the value cannot be exported because it does not affect the empty table imported previously, only the newly added tables can be used. To export an empty table, you can only use the first method. 3. Use the following statement to find an empty table: select 'alter table' | table_name | 'allocate extent; 'fromuser_tables where num_rows = 0; export the query result and execute the Export Statement, forcibly modify the segment value and then export it to export the empty table. Note: before inserting data into the database, modify the 11g_R2 parameter to export the empty table to search for the empty table: select 'alter table' | table_name | 'allocate extent; 'from user_tables where num_rows = 0 author Wu weilong
