You can use the Loader database tool to export (“unload“) data from a database instance.
Data unloaded with the Loader is not suitable for restoring a database instance, since it cannot be ensured that the data is consistent. Unloaded data is, therefore, not a substitute for data backups.
The following data from a database instance can be unloaded with the Loader:
· Database catalog or parts of the database catalog
· Application data or parts of the application data
Various different media can be used with the Loader, including media are addressed through external backup tools.
