How to rebuild table when you don’t have TOAD

I will demonstrate how to rebuild table DEPARTMENTS using datapump.

Find FK to DEPARTMENTS

select constraint_type, constraint_name ref_constraint, table_name fk_table from user_constraints
where r_constraint_name in (select constraint_name from user_constraints where table_name=’DEPARTMENTS’);

C REF_CONSTRAINT                 FK_TABLE
- ------------------------------ ------------------------------
R EMP_DEPT_FK                    EMPLOYEES
R JHIST_DEPT_FK                  JOB_HISTORY

Add DEPARTMENTS and FK_TABLE to expdp_metadata.par

$ cat expdp_metadata.par

directory=DATA_PUMP_DIR
userid='/ as sysdba'
metrics=Y
dumpfile=hr.dmp
content=METADATA_ONLY
schemas=HR
include=TABLE:"IN ('DEPARTMENTS','EMPLOYEES','JOB_HISTORY')"
reuse_dumpfiles=Y


Add FK_TABLE to impdp_rebuild_tab.par

$ cat impdp_rebuild_tab.par

directory=DATA_PUMP_DIR
userid="/ as sysdba"
metrics=Y
dumpfile=hr.dmp
schemas=HR
exclude=TABLE:"IN ('EMPLOYEES','JOB_HISTORY')"
exclude=STATISTICS
sqlfile=rebuild_tab.sql

Since include and exclude cannot be used together, exclude is used to not import statistics.

Add REF_CONSTRAINT to impdp_rebuild_ref.par

$ cat impdp_rebuild_ref.par

directory=DATA_PUMP_DIR
userid="/ as sysdba"
metrics=Y
dumpfile=hr.dmp
schemas=HR
include=REF_CONSTRAINT:"IN ('EMP_DEPT_FK','JHIST_DEPT_FK')"
sqlfile=rebuild_ref.sql


Datapump it

$ cat rebuild.sh
expdp parfile=expdp_metadata.par
impdp parfile=impdp_rebuild_tab.par
impdp parfile=impdp_rebuild_ref.par

[oracle@lax:db01]/home/oracle
$ ./rebuild.sh
