re Export/Import SYS -- was sRe: import from Oracle 9 to 10 hanging


LSC is right .
1. SYS is not to be used for Exports. Note#277237.1 explains why one should not connect as SYS when running an Export. Essentially, since SYS does not follow the transaction level read-consistency rules, an Export as SYS does not provide data 
consistency (even if CONSISTENT=Y is used).
[The only reasons to use SYS would be when specifically requested by Oracle Support 
or for Transportable Tablespaces]

2.  SYS is excluded when running a EXP with FULL=Y.
I did a quick scan of catexp.sql and found the exclusions for ORDSYS, MDSYS, CTXSYS etc but couldn't find explicit code which shows how SYS is excluded. [Probably the exclusion 
is not in catexp.sql but in the oracle (exp) binary ?]

export full does not export sys (and several), may be that sounds better ;-)
