The method to export a dmp file in PL/SQL is by using the Oracle Data Pump tool. Here are the steps to export a dmp file using Data Pump:

  1. Open the command line interface and log in to the server where the Oracle database is installed.
  2. To start the expdp utility, run the following command:
  3. Export data from a specific schema using expdp with specified username, password, service name, directory, dump file name, and schema name.
  4. In this case, username is the database user’s username, password is the user’s password, service_name is the service name of the database instance, directory_name is the directory of the Data Pump export file, dumpfile_name.dmp is the exported dmp file name, and schema_name is the name of the database schema to be exported.
  5. Additional options such as INCLUDE and EXCLUDE can be used to specify the type of objects to be exported as needed.
  6. After running the command, Data Pump will start exporting the database schema to the specified dmp file. The progress and results of the export will be displayed on the command line interface.
  7. Once the export is finished, the generated dmp file can be copied or moved to export it to other computers or database instances.
