Hoe de volledige DDL van een Oracle-schema (scriptable) te genereren?

U kunt het schema naar een bestand spoolen via SQL*Plus en het pakket dbms_metadata. Vervang vervolgens de schemanaam door een andere via sed. Dit werkt voor Oracle 10 en hoger.

sqlplus<<EOF
set long 100000
set head off
set echo off
set pagesize 0
set verify off
set feedback off
spool schema.out

select dbms_metadata.get_ddl(object_type, object_name, owner)
from

    select
        owner,
        --Java object names may need to be converted with DBMS_JAVA.LONGNAME.
        --That code is not included since many database don't have Java installed.

Zet alles in een script en voer het uit via cron (scheduler). Het exporteren van objecten kan lastig zijn wanneer geavanceerde functies worden gebruikt. Wees niet verbaasd als u nog enkele uitzonderingen aan de bovenstaande code moet toevoegen.
