Data Pump impdp expdp NETWORK_LINK option :- Transfer schema across database using db links without dump file

Using the NETWORK_LINK option you can import the schema from source database to target database. One advantage of this option you don’t need export and import as it does the export and import in single shot from the source to destination. Also, the file system space is not needed to accommodate the huge dump files as we can directly import to target using network_link. It is very amazing option with data pump. You can take the backup of source database schema from another database and you can store in dump files in target location as well.

See the examples below. Here we have two databases – prod8 (source) and prod9(target)

SQL>  select name from v$database;
NAME
---------
PROD8

SQL> show user
USER is "SCOTT"

SQL> select * from tab;
no rows selected

SQL> create table example_tab1 as select * from all_objects;
Table created.

SQL> select * from tab;
TNAME                          TABTYPE  CLUSTERID
------------------------------ ------- ----------
EXAMPLE_TAB1                   TABLE

I have added a TNS entry (File location: $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora) for prod8 in my prod9 database box. Entry as below:
prod8 =
   (description =
      (address =
         (protocol = tcp)
         (host = devdata.abc.diamond.net)
         (port = 1522)
      )
      (connect_data =
         (server = dedicated)
         (sid = prod8)
      )
   )

Test the connectivity using the tnsping utility
$ tnsping prod8

Connect to prod9 using sqlplus and create a database link to prod8 with scott user
$ sqlplus

SQL> create database link prod8 connect to scott identified by scott using 'prod8';
Database link created.


SQL> select * from tab@prod8

EXAMPLE_TAB1                   TABLE

Database link is working and ready from the database prod9 to prod8

Now I am going to import the scott schema of prod8 database to prod9 database without dumpfile. See below
$ impdp scott/tiger directory=exp_dir logfile=impnetworkscott.log network_link=prod8

Yes. table EXAMPLE_TAB1 has been imported without dumpfile to prod9 database!!!!

Next example is taking the schema export from source database from target machine. You can store the dump in files.
$ expdp scott/tiger directory=exp_dir dumpfile=networkscott.dmp logfile=networkscott.log network_link=prod8
