Use data pump to extract a package from a dump file

Here's the only method I've found for using Data Pump to extract a package from a dump file.  You don't actually import it directly to a database.  Impdp creates a sql file with the source code for re-creating the package.

impdp username/password directory=MYDIR dumpfile=export.dmp sqlfile=mysql.sql

This will get all the source code for every package in your dump file.

RMAN Restore vs. Recovery - what's the difference?

RESTORE is used to restore the datafiles from a backup. You can restore up to the time of the backup or a point before using SET UNTIL . You would lose any changes made to the database after the backup by performing only a RESTORE. RECOVER is used to roll the database forward after a RESTORE by applying the redo logs. In essence, RECOVER = RESTORE + redo logs. The following example assumes you have lost your control files and datafiles, but still have your redo logs. $ rman target / nocatalog RMAN> startup nomount; RMAN> restore controlfile from '/oback/controlfile'; RMAN> alter database mount; RMAN> restore database; RMAN> recover database; RMAN> alter database open resetlogs;
