Truncates the table odci_secobj$, and set up index schema and name dbms_export_extension.begin_import_domain_index( idxschema IN VARCHAR2, idxname IN VARCHAR2);

Checks to see if a partition has made use of a template partition clause dbms_export_extension.check_match_template(pobjno IN INTEGER) RETURN INTEGER;

FUNC_INDEX_DEFAULT

Returns default$ from col$ for a function-base index and converts it to VARCHAR2 from LONG dbms_export_extension.func_index_default( tabobj IN NUMBER, colname IN VARCHAR2) RETURN CLOB;

GET_DOMAIN_INDEX_METADATA

Acts as intermediary between export and the ODCIIndexGetMetadata method on a domain index's implementation type which allows the index to return PL/SQL-based "metadata" such as policy info. Strings are returned representing pieces of PL/SQL blocks to execute at import time. dbms_export_extension.get_domain_index_metadata( index_name IN VARCHAR2, index_schema IN VARCHAR2, type_name IN VARCHAR2, type_schema IN VARCHAR2, version IN VARCHAR2, newblock OUT PLS_INTEGER, gmflags IN NUMBER DEFAULT -1, -- Post-v1 DI only datapump_debug IN NUMBER DEFAULT -1, partition_name IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL) RETURN VARCHAR2;

TBD

GET_DOMAIN_INDEX_TABLES

Acts as intermediary between export and the ODCIIndexUtilGetTableNames method on a domain index's implementation type allowing the index to return list of secondary table names (separated by comma) that are to be exported and imported to speed up rebuild of domain indexes during import. dbms_export_extension.get_domain_index_tables( index_name IN VARCHAR2, index_schema IN VARCHAR2, type_name IN VARCHAR2, type_schema IN VARCHAR2, read_only IN PLS_INTEGER, version IN VARCHAR2, get_tables IN PLS_INTEGER) RETURN VARCHAR2;

TBD

GET_OBJECT_COMMENT

Reurns the source string for COMMENT OPERATOR and COMMENT INDEXTYPE dbms_export_extension.get_object_comment( objid IN NUMBER, objtype IN NUMBER) RETURN VARCHAR2;

TBD

GET_OBJECT_SOURCE

Used to get the source string for CREATE OPERATOR and CREATE INDEXTYPE. The function is passed the object number and the object type and the string returned is the SQL statement needed to create the operator or the index type. dbms_export_extension.get_object_source( objid IN NUMBER, objtype IN NUMBER) RETURN VARCHAR2;

SELECT object_id

      FROM dba_objects

      WHERE object_name = 'TAB$';

      ORA-16540: invalid argument

GET_V2_DOMAIN_INDEX_TABLES

Acts as intermediary between export and the ODCIIndexUtilGetTableNames method on a domain index's implementation type. Unlike the initial (v1) implementation, the _v2_ 0/1 value which export will use to determine if all the secondary objects associated with a domain index should be exported (1) or not (0) dbms_export_extension.get_v2_domain_index_tables( index_name IN VARCHAR2, index_schema IN VARCHAR2, type_name IN VARCHAR2, type_schema IN VARCHAR2, read_only IN PLS_INTEGER, version IN VARCHAR2, get_tables IN PLS_INTEGER, gmflags IN NUMBER) RETURN INTEGER;

TBD

INSERT_SECOBJ

Inserts an entry into the table odci_secobj$, dbms_export_extension.insert_secobj( secobjschema IN VARCHAR2, secobjname IN VARCHAR2);

NULLTOCHR0

Replaces \0 with CHR(0) in a VARCHAR2 dbms_export_extension.nulltochr0(value IN VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2;
