Hvordan genereres hele DDL af et Oracle-skema (scriptable)?

Du kan spoole skemaet ud til en fil via SQL*Plus og dbms_metadata-pakken. Erstat derefter skemanavnet med et andet via sed. Dette virker for Oracle 10 og nyere.

Læg alt i et script og kør det via cron (planlægning). Det kan være vanskeligt at eksportere objekter, når der bruges avancerede funktioner. Bliv ikke overrasket, hvis du har brug for at tilføje nogle flere undtagelser til ovenstående kode.
