REMAP_DATA Parameter of Oracle Data Pump Export (expdp)/ Import (impdp) - New Feature Oracle Database 11g

By -

 

 REMAP_DATA

Default: There is no default
Purpose
The REMAP_DATA parameter allows you to specify a remap function that takes as a source the original value of the designated column and returns a remapped value that will replace the original value in the dump file. A common use for this option is to mask data when moving from a production system to a test system. For example, a column of sensitive customer data such as credit card numbers could be replaced with numbers generated by a REMAP_DATA function. This would allow the data to retain its essential formatting and processing characteristics without exposing private data to unauthorized personnel.
The same function can be applied to multiple columns being dumped. This is useful when you want to guarantee consistency in remapping both the child and parent column in a referential constraint.
Syntax and Description
REMAP_DATA=[schema.]tablename.column_name:[schema.]pkg.function
The description of each syntax element, in the order in which they appear in the syntax, is as follows:
schema -- the schema containing the table to be remapped. By default, this is the schema of the user doing the export.
tablename -- the table whose column will be remapped.
column_name -- the column whose data is to be remapped. The maximum number of columns that can be remapped for a single table is 10.
schema -- the schema containing the PL/SQL package you have created that contains the remapping function. As a default, this is the schema of the user doing the export.
pkg -- the name of the PL/SQL package you have created that contains the remapping function.
function -- the name of the function within the PL/SQL that will be called to remap the column table in each row of the specified table.

Restrictions

  • The datatypes of the source argument and the returned value should both match the data type of the designated column in the table.
  • Remapping functions should not perform commits or rollbacks except in autonomous transactions.
  • The maximum number of columns you can remap on a single table is 10. You can remap 9 columns on table a and 8 columns on table b, and so on, but the maximum for each table is 10.
  • The use of synonyms as values for the REMAP_DATA parameter is not supported. For example, if the regions table in the hr schema had a synonym of regn, an error would be returned if you specified regn as part of the REMPA_DATA specification.
  • Remapping LOB column data of a remote table is not supported.

Example

  1. Create a table.
  2. Create a package Specification.
  3. Create a package body.
  4. Perform Export using expdp.
  5. Check Your Data is exported in encrypted form.
  6. Drop table to test import.
  7. Import table using impdp without remap_data parameter 
  8. You table is imported but the address column data is encrypted.
  9. Drop again to check the impact of using remap_data parameter while importing,
  10. Import with remap_data parameter.
  11. Now check again your table is imported with decrypted original data.

Figures shown in these notes are from Oracle® Database Concepts 11 g Release 2 Objectives These notes introduce the Oracle server architecture.   The architecture includes physical components, memory components, processes, and logical structures. Primary Architecture Components The figure shown above details the Oracle architecture. Oracle server :   An Oracle server includes an Oracle Instance and an Oracle database .   ·         An Oracle database includes several different types of files:   datafiles, control files, redo log files and archive redo log files.   The Oracle server also accesses parameter files and password files.   ·         This set of files has several purposes.   o    One is to enable system users to process SQL statements.   o    Another is to improve system performance.   o    Still another is to ensure the database can be recovered if there is a software/hardware failure. ·         The database server must manage large amo

Step by Step - How to resolve redo log file corruption using ALTER DATABASE CLEAR UNARCHIVED LOGFILE command

By -

Connect to sys using sqlplus in admin command prompt Check whether your database is in archive log mode or not. Run command ARCHIVE LOG LIST. It will show you the following details: It is always preferable to have your database in archive log mode. The reason being if your database is in archive log mode you can recover from all committed changes in the event of an OS or disk failure. This query will display the path of redo log files, their group and their status. It is always recommended to have a minimum of two members in one group. As you can see I have only 1 member in group 6 whose current status is INACTIVE. I intentionally have 1 member to generate a scenario for the sake of this practical. Now go to the specified path where the redo log member of group 6 is located and open it in a notepad. It will show some symbolic data. Delete couple of lines and save it the original location which is the one we got as a result of query. Why did we do the above step i.
