Oracle Data Pump Options and new features

1. # Take Control of Oracle Data Pump Imports
with New Enhancements! ORACLE Al Database

DATABASE
BOX

Oracle Data Pump just got even more powerful,
making migrations to Oracle Autonomous
Database (ADB) or on-premises smoother,
faster, and more flexible.

Here are some key highlights

Smarter Control and Compression
+ Specify index compression on import using
TRANSFORM=INDEX_COMPRESSION_CLAUSE:C
OMPRESS ADVANCED LOW
+ Fine-tune space usage and performance
during migrations.

Flexible Object Inclusion
+ Include/exclude objects in the same export
or import job: expdp hr
DIRECTORY=dpump_dir1

2. DUMPFILE=exp%u.dmp SCHEMAS=hr,oe
INCLUDE=table EXCLUDE=statistics

+ The INCLUDE parameter runs first, then
EXCLUDE removes specific objects.

Simplified Cloud Imports

Import from Oracle Object Storage directly to
ADW / ATP (Shared or Dedicated) with
parallelism, transforms, and object-level control.

Performance & Parallelism
+ Use PARALLEL=n for inter-table and intra-
table parallelism
+ Parallelize TTS metadata operations, resume
jobs, and import JSON natively
© Optimize with accurate DBMS_STATS
gathering before and after operations

Compression, Security, and Efficiency
+ Use COMPRESSION=ALL and
COMPRESSION_ALGORITHM=MEDIUM for
balanced performance
e Verify data integrity with Data Pump
checksum (21c and above)

3. e Import over database links — no dumpfiles
required!

Best Practices for Autonomous Database

e Use SCHEMA or TABLE mode exports for
ADB

+ Set proper STREAMS_POOL_SIZE and
MAX_DATAPUMP_JOBS_PER_PDB

+ Prefer SecureFile LOBs for parallel 1/0 and
compression

+ Use AL32UTF8 character set for maximum
compatibility

Bottom line:

Oracle Data Pump continues to evolve with every
release, offering more control, scalability, and
efficiency for your migrations. Whether you're
moving to Oracle Cloud or optimizing on-
premises, following these best practices will
make your Data Pump jobs smoother and faster.
