You can use the following methods to perform data import and export with Oracle.<\/p>\n

Importing data:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. To import data using Oracle SQL Developer: You can import data using Oracle SQL Developer by selecting the table you want to import data into and then using the import wizard in SQL Developer.<\/li>\n
  2. Loader tool: SQL<\/li>\n
  3. Utilize external tables: In Oracle database, external tables can be created to load data files. Subsequently, data from the external table can be inserted into a table within the database using the INSERT INTO statement.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Data export:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. One option is:
      \n“Using Oracle SQL Developer tool: You can export data using the Oracle SQL Developer tool. In SQL Developer, select the table you want to export data from and then use the export wizard to export the data.”<\/li>\n
    2. Oracle provides the EXP and EXPDP tools for exporting data. EXP is used for traditional export and EXPDP is used for data pump export. These tools can be used to export data to data files.<\/li>\n
    3. External tables can be used to create tables in Oracle database and export the data from the tables to external files. Data from external tables can be exported to files using the SELECT INTO OUTFILE statement.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
