Minimum privilege needed to take data pump export

In your organization you may assign a user who is only responsible to take data pump export. Suppose everyday evening he will be responsible to take a logical backup of the database.
The minimum privilege need to perform data pump export operation is given below.
1)Create Session privilege. This is required to logon to database.
2)Create Table privilege. This is required as while doing export operation he needs to create a master table.
3)Read and write permission on a valid database directory. Or Create Directory privilege.
4)Sufficient tablespace quota on the user's default tablespace. As master table need to be created while data pump export operation.

In addition to above 4 privileges it is needed to grant EXP_FULL_DATABASE to the intended user if he might need the following things
- to run a full database Export or
- to run a transport_tablespace job or
- to run an Export DataPump job with the TRACE parameter or
- to run an operation that exports a different schema.

Now suppose I want to grant minimum privilege to user Dump_User to perform data pump export.
With minimum privilege granted to him you can create user named Dump_User as below.
Way 1:
CONNECT system/a
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY datapump_dir AS 'Give an OS directory here that already exist in database and OS user has permission on it';
Like, CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY datapump_dir AS 'C:\'
GRANT create session, create table TO DUMP_USER IDENTIFIED BY a ;
ALTER USER DUMP_USER default tablespace users;
GRANT read, write ON DIRECTORY datapump_dir TO DUMP_USER;
ALTER USER DUMP_USER QUOTA unlimited ON users;

or:
Way 2: Using Role,
CONNECT system/a
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY datapump_dir AS 'full_pre_existing_directory_path_here';
CREATE ROLE expdp_role;
GRANT create session, create table TO expdp_role;
GRANT read, write ON DIRECTORY my_dir TO expdp_role;
GRANT expdp_role TO DUMP_USER;
ALTER USER DUMP_USER DEFAULT ROLE all;
ALTER USER DUMP_USER default tablespace users;
ALTER USER DUMP_USER QUOTA unlimited ON users;

ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected

Problem Symptom While performing a simple select statement it fails with error ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected like below. SQL> select 48*1024*1024*1024 decimal from dual; select 48*1024*1024*1024 decimal from dual * ERROR at line 1: ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected Cause of the problem The ORA-00923 can be caused by two different reasons. 1)Oracle itself expect FROM keyword in the position but it could not find any. Like below, SQL> select 48*1024 om dual; select 48*1024 om dual * ERROR at line 1: ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected As no from keyword found so error arises. Oracle expected from in place of keyword dual. 2)The secong cause can sometimes mislead you. Like in case of SQL> select 48*1024*1024*1024 decimal from dual; select 48*1024*1024*1024 decimal from dual * ERROR at line 1: ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where exp

How to make partitioning in Oracle more Quickly

As the table size grows and full table scans happens more frequently then there is no alternative than partitioning in oracle. Partition greatly enhance performance of a query. I will start my partitioning system simply with an example. In my database the following query took 30~35 seconds to complete. After partitioning the performance increased amazingly and it then took only 1 second. My query was, SELECT DISTINCT fs.type, fs.id , fs.pid, fs.cid , fs.cr_id, fs.created_date FROM summary fs where fs.id in (select fa.id from forms fa where fa.sar in (select la.sar from login la where la.login_id=1 and fa.created_date BETWEEN to_date('1-MAY-2008') AND to_date('21-SEP-2008') and fs.created_date BETWEEN to_date('1-MAY-2008') AND to_date('21-SEP-2008') ) )and mode=0; After seeing above query I decide to make range partition on column created_date both in summary table and forms table. Below is the list of procedur

Copy files between Unix and Windows with rcp

There are many third party tools by which you can copy files between windows and unix machine. Some common tools are winscp, SSHSecureShellClient etc. Instead of using any third party tool, you can use original unix and windows built-in tool to do the task. The RCP (Remote CoPy) is a standard UNIX tool and a Microsoft Windows 2000 tool that copies files/folder to and from computer running the RCP service. Before you can use the RCP tool from a Windows-based computer you must do something in your UNIX computer. you must turn on the RCP service and update the security files to allow the Windows-based computer to connect to your unix machine over this service. The following steps will help you. Step 01: Turn on RCP service on UNIX Host Turn on the RCP service on unix machine by using inetd: 1. Log on as root. 2. Edit the file /etc/Inetd.conf. 3. Uncomment the lines that start with shell and that start with exec. 4. Save the file. 5. Use ps -ef |grep inetd and determine inetd service p
