Hello all,

I am new to this forum. This is an urgent request.
I am having Oracle 9 version.
I want to export my Database.

i opted for EXP executable from Oracle_home/bin directory

It took me to Interactive mode.

I connected using : username AS SYSDBA
and password.

I am completely confused.

i want to export the entire database ( option E)
i tried to login using username for DB.

user AS SYSDBA
password

and then when executing it gets stuck in that line..

i tried different login

SYS AS SYSDBA
user AS SYSDBA

still same result.

Hello Sir,

my Database is in windows.
So i am running EXP.exe executable to open the export window.

So when it gets stuck in that line, i checked the Task Manager to see the process. It is not showing this process.

is there any other way sir?

You are not listening, Dave told you what to do twice -three times now. Trace it.

Operating system is immaterial, it's Oracle

Trace the session please
