Transportable Tablespace

Oracle transportable tablespaces allow copying a tablespace from one database to another by making the tablespace metadata self-contained. The source tablespace is checked for violations and placed in read-only mode before exporting the metadata using Data Pump. The tablespace datafiles and export file are copied to the destination database, where users are created, the metadata imported using Data Pump, and the tablespace switched to read-write mode, making it available on the destination database.

Transportable tablespaces:

Oracle Transportable tablespaces are a useful tool


because all of the metadata for the tablespace is
self-contained,
making it easy to copy the tablespace from one
database to another database.

SQL> select * from V$TRANSPORTABLE_PLATFORM ;

SQL > select name, platform_id,platform_name from v$database;

ALTER TABLE hr.copy_emp ENABLE ROW MOVEMENT;

SELECT tp.endian_format
FROM v$transportable_platform tp, v$database d
WHERE tp.platform_name = d.platform_name;
