hi,

i am using a schema which i need to take a backup of meta data only i am using exp utility

exp shan/shan@shan file=/backup_dump/shan.dmp log=/backup_dump/shan.log owner=shan rows=n

but it will return me below error, i have only access to user shan our client cant allow me to use system or sysdba schema or any other required grants or privileges so is there any way to take metadata backup of user shan from user shan.

The message is clear:

Your DBA has to run $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catexp.sql script.

Note that exp is NOT a database backup utility and that in 10g you should better use Data Pump instead.

Thanks for your reply
Excluding EXP utility Is there any other way to take backup of schema containing structure only i.e without data.
