Goal

This document demonstrates how the QUERY parameter can be used with Export Data Pump (expdp) and Import Data Pump (impdp). It also shows where quotes must be used in the WHERE clause.

Incorrect usage of single or double quotes (or a space between the colon and the double quote) for the QUERY parameter can result in parse errors or errors such as:

LRM-00101: unknown parameter name 'empno'
ORA-39001: invalid argument value
ORA-39035: Data filter SUBQUERY has already been specified
ORA-31693: Table data object "SCOTT"."DEPT" failed to load/unload and is being skipped due to error:
ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
LRM-00111: no closing quote for value '' 
EXP-19: failed to process parameters, type 'EXP HELP=Y' for help
EXP-0: Export terminated unsuccessfully
ORA-31693: Table data object "SCOTT"."DEPT" failed to load/unload and is being skipped due to error:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error
ORA-31605: the following was returned from LpxXSLSetTextVar in routine kuxslSetParam:
LPX-314: an internal failure occurred
...
Processing object type TABLE_EXPORT/TABLE/TABLE
ORA-31693: Table data object "<SCHEMA_NAME>"."<TABLE_NAME>" failed to load/unload and is being skipped due to error:
