The Eucharistic Miracles of the World

In Oracle 11gR2 you can create and keep different versions or editions of objects. The objects are limited to some set of objects which is not having the storage. You can see more details here with examples.Oracle Object Editions

Now let’s discuss about the data pump parameters expdp source_edition and impdp target_edition. Oracle provides the provision for different versions of same object under different editions. Suppose if you wanted to backup and restore these versions into across different editions using these options.

During the application development you can create multiple versions of objects for different releases. So in case if you wanted to migrate code from one version to different version within database or across database you can use this option.

See some examples.
I have 2 editions of one view called ED_EMP_VIEW_ORABASE in my schema. One is with default edition called ORA$BASE and another in NEW_EDITION edition with different columns from emp table. In below example I am trying to export views from scott schema from NEW_EDITION to ORA$BASE edition.

SQL> ALTER SESSION SET EDITION =ORA$BASE;

Session altered.

SQL> desc ed_emp_view_ORABASE
 Name                                      Null?    Type
 ----------------------------------------- -------- --------------
 EMPNO                                     NOT NULL NUMBER(4)
 ENAME                                              VARCHAR2(10)
 JOB                                                VARCHAR2(9)

SQL> ALTER SESSION SET EDITION =NEW_EDITION;

Session altered.

SQL> desc ED_EMP_VIEW_ORABASE
 Name                                      Null?    Type
 ----------------------------------------- -------- ---------------
 EMPNO                                     NOT NULL NUMBER(4)
 ENAME                                              VARCHAR2(10)
 SAL                                                NUMBER(7,2)
 COMM                                               NUMBER(7,2)

Importing the dumpfile / views to ORA$BASE edition. You should remove the objects from the target edition before importing the dump. Otherwise, if the object present in the target edition you will get “ORA-31684: Object type VIEW:"SCOTT"."ED_EMP_VIEW_ORABASE" already exists” error.

SQL> ALTER SESSION SET EDITION =ORA$BASE;

Session altered.

SQL> drop view ed_emp_view_ORABASE;

View dropped.

After the import you can verify the import after setting corresponding edition.

SQL> ALTER SESSION SET EDITION =ORA$BASE;

Session altered.
SQL> SELECT SYS_CONTEXT('userenv', 'current_edition_name') FROM DUAL;

SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','CURRENT_EDITION_NAME')
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
