Goal

Errors:

  • EXP-79
  • EXP-80

When exporting data from an Oracle8i, Oracle9i or Oracle10g database you see the following warning in the export log file (note that the table name is probably different):

About to export specified tables via Conventional Path ...
EXP-00079: Data in table "TEST_TAB" is protected. Conventional path may only be exporting partial table.
. . exporting table TEST_TAB 1 rows exported
Export terminated successfully with warnings.

- OR -

About to export specified tables via Direct Path ...
EXP-00080: Data in table "TEST_TAB" is protected. Using conventional mode.
EXP-00079: Data in table "TEST_TAB" is protected. Conventional path may only be exporting partial table.
. . exporting table TEST_TAB 1 rows exported
Export terminated successfully with warnings.


This document describes:

  • How to ensure that all table data has been exported
  • How to prevent these warnings during export.

 

NOTE:
Original Export is desupported for general use as of Oracle Database 11g. The only supported use of original Export in Oracle Database 11g is backward migration of XMLType data to Oracle Database 10g release 2 (10.2) or earlier. Therefore, Oracle recommends that you use the new Data Pump Export and Import utilities
