Reg: Expdp and Impdp

Question

Dear All.
I am using expdp command to export the table by specifying Query parameter.
But i am unable to export the table based on the condition.
Ex:
EXPDP username/password dumpfile=employee.dmp logfile=emp.log directory=DATADIR_EXP TABLES=EMPLOYEE query=EMPLOYEE:\"UPDATED_TIME >= '04-JUN-13' AND UPDATED_TIME >= '05-AUG-13'\"
Estimate in progress using BLOCKS method...
Processing object type TABLE_EXPORT/TABLE/TABLE_DATA
Total estimation using BLOCKS method: 3 GB
ORA-31693: Table data object "<username>"."EMPLOYEE" failed to load/unload and is being skipped due to error:
ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
Master table "<username>"."EMPLOYEE" successfully loaded/unloaded
Dump file set for <username>.SYS_EXPORT_TABLE_01 is:
  E:\IMPDP\employee.dmp
Job "<username>"."SYS_EXPORT_TABLE_01" completed with 1 error(s) at 12:34:45
Oracle 11g,

Answer 1

Use it with a PARFILE and then on the PARFILE specify query clause.
On the PARFILE all you would have to do is use the double quotes at the start and end ofthe QUERY clause, such as:
TABLES:emp_salary
DUMPFILE=dump_dir
QUERY= emp_salary:"WHERE emp_id IN (SELECT id from emp
where join_date> to_date('2004-01-01','YYYY-MM-DD')
AND dept='SALSE')"
This is better so you don't have to deal with shell escape characters.
EDIT: Your query is funny.
UPDATED_TIME >= '04-JUN-13' AND UPDATED_TIME >= '05-AUG-13'\"
Is this really what you want? A row can only have an UPDATED_TIME of 04/JUN (or later) OR 05/AUG (or later) , so your WHERE clause will always return 0 rows.
And if you switch to a OR the second condition becomes redundant.
