Problem
When using the exp utility to export an Oracle database, you may find that not all tables are included in the export.
Cause
Empty tables may not be included in the export, as they have not been allocated space on disk. In versions of Oracle before 11g R2, Oracle allocates space for a table when the table is first created.
After 11g R2, Oracle defaults the option
deferred_segment_creation
to true, which allocates space for a table when the first row is inserted.
If the tables were created when this option was enabled, tables may be empty and may not exist on disk. Those tables would then subsequently fail to export.
Diagnosis
Run the following query as your database user. If it returns any rows, you are affected, and should proceed with the resolution:
SELECT * FROM user_tables WHERE segment_created = 'NO';
Resolution
Run the following SQL query to generate a list of alter statements:
SELECT 'ALTER TABLE '||table_name||' ALLOCATE EXTENT;' FROM user_tables WHERE segment_created = 'NO';
Run the ALTER statements against your database, and then attempt the export again.
Run below script to create procedure and then execute the procedure in Begin..End to allocate extent to empty tables
Cursor c Is
Select 'ALTER TABLE ' || Table_Name || ' ALLOCATE EXTENT' Script
From User_Tables
Where Segment_Created = 'NO';
m_Sql Varchar2(1000);
Begin
For i In c Loop
m_Sql := i.Script;
Dbms_Output.Put_Line(m_Sql);
Execute Immediate (m_Sql);
End Loop;
End;
