Oracle Data pump enhancements in Oracle 21c

Oracle 21c offering new enhancements for Oracle data pump and take an advantage of these features

• CHECKSUM, CHECKSUM_ALGORITHM
• VERIFY_ONLY and VERIFY_CHECKSUM
• INCLUDE and EXCLUDE in the Same Operation
• Index Compression
• Transportable Tablespace Enhancements
• JSON Data Type Support

CHECKSUM, CHECKSUM_ALGORITHM
These parameters enables the export to perform checksum validation for each of the dump files, you can enable using CHECKSUM_ALGORITHM or CHECKSUM. In order to use these the COMPATIBLE parameter must be set to 21.0 or higher

$ expdp \'/ AS SYSDBA\' dumpfile=test.dmp schemas=testuser DIRECTORY=test_dir LOGFILE=test.log CHECKSUM=YES checksum_algorithm=SHA256

VERIFY_ONLY and VERIFY_CHECKSUM
The VERIFY_ONLY , VERIFY_CHECKSUM parameter uses the checksum to validate dump files during the import. The VERIFY_CHECKSUM and VERIFY_ONLY parameters are mutually exclusive

$ impdp \'/ AS SYSDBA\' dumpfile=test.dmp DIRECTORY=test_dir LOGFILE=test.log verify_checksum=yes

INCLUDE and EXCLUDE in the Same Operation
From Oracle 21c, the Include and exclude objects within the same export or import job

$ expdp \'/ AS SYSDBA\' dumpfile=test.dmp schemas=testuser DIRECTORY=test_dir LOGFILE=test.log include=table exclude=statistics

Index Compression
In Oracle database 21c, we can compress indexes while importing using the INDEX_COMPRESSION_CLAUSE and the TRANSFORM parameter

$ impdp \'/ AS SYSDBA\' dumpfile=test.dmp FULL=Y DIRECTORY=test_dir TRANSFORM=TABLE_COMPRESSION_CLAUSE:\"COMPRESS BASIC\" TRANSFORM=INDEX_COMPRESSION_CLAUSE:\"COMPRESS ADVANCED LOW\" EXCLUDE=CONSTRAINT

Master table "SYS"."SYS_IMPORT_FULL_01" successfully loaded/unloaded Starting "SYS"."SYS_EXPORT_TRANSPORTABLE_01": "/******** AS SYSDBA" FULL=Y DIRECTORY=test_dir TRANSFORM=TABLE_COMPRESSION_CLAUSE:\"COMPRESS BASIC\" TRANSFORM=INDEX_COMPRESSION_CLAUSE:\"COMPRESS ADVANCED LOW\" EXCLUDE=CONSTRAINT

Transportable Tablespace Enhancements
Before Oracle 21c any failure you cannot able to resume transportable tablespace jobs , but now Oracle Data Pump Resumes Transportable Tablespace Jobs and also Parallelizes Metadata Operations using PARALLEL parameter

$ expdp \'/ AS SYSDBA\' dumpfile=test.dmp TRANSPORT_TABLESPACES=testusr DIRECTORY=test_dir TRANSPORT_FULL_CHECK=YES LOGFILE=test.log REUSE_DUMPFILES=YES PARALLEL=2

Starting "SYS"."SYS_EXPORT_TRANSPORTABLE_01": "/******** AS SYSDBA" dumpfile=test.dmp TRANSPORT_TABLESPACES= testusr TRANSPORT_FULL_CHECK=YES LOGFILE=test.log REUSE_DUMPFILES=YES PARALLEL=2

JSON Data Type Support
Oracle Data Pump enables export and import of Oracle Database native JSON objects, We can also export and import of tables containing the JSON Datatype in full, tablespaces and table modes using Transportable Tablespace

Oracle 21c also offers export/import from Oracle autonomous Database and Cloud Object stores
