It facilitate upgrading Oracle Database, we can use the export and import utilities in Oracle Data Pump to migrate data from one database to another one. It provides high performance export (expdp) and import (impdp) utilities.

                    Data migration programming is as important as the application programming, also more important than the application code because it's what preserves the data, and the data is the only thing of value.
