IMPDP and EXPDP are undoubtedly amazing evolutions of ancient IMP/EXP.
However, why did Oracle remove the capability of generating remote dumps via SQL*Net? I don't want to backup to a local directory!
Many places still use the original export simply because the DBA does not have access to the server, or the server does not have sufficient free space, or many other limitations related do the DB server.
Please oracle, give me the option to run expdp transferring the data via Oracle Net and we can definitely say goodbye to exp! =]
