DATAPUMP EXPORT FULL?

Leandro LimaMay 15 2025

Hello folks.

I'm still experimenting with sqlcl and datapump, but one thing caught my attention: is there no way to perform a full export of a database via sqlcl? For the export operation we have to always specify a list of schemas, is that right?

The import operation has the FULL as default - if no schema is given, all schemas in the dump will be imported. Why there is no similar FULL option for the export? I wonder why is it like that? Security concerns? Just check if the connected user has the EXPORT_FULL_DATABASE / SELECT ANY CATALOG roles.
