The source database(Production) schema contains tables with unused columns.The schema is exported with expdp.
Now when the schema is imported to the destination database(Testing) i don't see the columns marked as Unused anymore in(dba_unused_col_tabs)

Is there any way to exclude these unused columns with expdp/impdp.I know i can drop the unused columns from source but this takes a long time which i want to avoid.

Is there any inconsistency in your 2 sentences?

If you don't see them then maybe they already are excluded?


Please read OraFAQ Forum Guide and How to use [code] tags and make your code easier to read.

Excerpt of the rules:
[*] Post your Oracle DB version to 4 decimal places (SELECT * FROM V$VERSION;).
[*] Post your Operating System (OS) name & version for your database (DB) server system.
[*] SHOW us using COPY & PASTE [...] exactly what you did & how Oracle responded.
[*] Post FORMATTED

Source Database
1. desc employee;
shows 10 columns

2. select * from dba_unused_col_tabs;
employee


Destination Database (after impdp)
1. desc employee;
shows 10 columns

2. select * from dba_unused_col_tabs;
blank output
