How to exclude a partition from schema mode export?

Question

I am using Oracle 10g Data Pump Export utility expdp. What I am trying to do is to export a single schema, except for a certain partition P in table T.
I have tried:
expdp user/pass@db dumpfile=... logfile=... exclude=table:" = 'T:P' "
(please ignore the OS specific text escaping issue)
It doesn't work. The whole table T gets exported.
Is there a way to exclude partitions from schema mode export?
If not, is there a way I can achieve the same with DBMS_DATAPUMP API?

Answer 1

Try “QUERY” Data Pump Export parameter. Unless your partition is a hash partition, you should be able to constrict a where clause that gets you all records in the table, except the records for the partition you want to exclude.
For instance if you want to exclude a range partition (between 100 and 200) on the col1 column you should put something like this:
QUERY= USR.TAB:”WHERE COL1  < 100 OR COL1  > 200”This approach would export the partition definition though.
