数据泵Datapump是Oracle推出的一项非常方便的数据逻辑备份还原工具。同传统的Exp/Imp相比，Datapump无论在性能、功能上都提供了很多优势进步。在实际工作中，大数据抽样是一个经常出现的业务需求。对一个海量数据表，也许抽取有代表性的数据量就可以完成相应工作。
在select语句中，我们的确可以使用sample语句去实现对应的一些功能。借助Datapump，我们也可以实现采样方式的数据表备份处理。
1、环境说明
我们选择Oracle 11gR2进行测试实验，具体版本为11.2.0.4。
SQL> select * from v$version;
BANNER
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.4.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.4.0 - Production
CORE 11.2.0.4.0 Production
TNS for Linux: Version 11.2.0.4.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.4.0 – Production
创建数据表SM_TEST。
SQL> create table scott.sm_test as select * from dba_objects;
Table created
SQL> select count(*) from scott.sm_test;
COUNT(*)

2、测试实验
对Expdp的Sample参数，官方的解释是很少的。
SAMPLE
Percentage of data to be exported.
Datapump是可以工作在三个模式下，全库模式、Schema模式和表模式。针对三种模式，我们都可以使用Sample参数来进行设置。下面通过最简单的比例值指定来设置采样比例。
[oracle@localhost ~]$ expdp "/ as sysdba" dumpfile=TEST_1.dmp tables=scott.sm_test sample=50

指定导出的数据表名称的表模式中，我们通过sample的百分比参数，来确定特定表的内容。从导出数据6万左右的情况，正好是13万总数据的50%，是合理的结果。
如果运行在schema工作模式下，直接指定比例份额，结果如何呢？
SQL> select count(*) from scott.emp;
COUNT(*)

采样比例在Schema下所有数据表范围内生效，所有数据表基本上以50%的比例进行采样处理。
最后，如果我们导出多张数据表，只对某些数据表进行采样处理，那么如何指定sample参数呢？
[oracle@localhost ~]$ expdp "/ as sysdba" dumpfile=TEST_3.dmp schemas=scott sample=scott.sm_test:30

从上面实验中，如果只是针对特定数据表进行采样处理，需要通过数据表名:采样比例方式来指定。
3、结论
根据笔者的猜测，sample参数在expdp中主要是传导到select语句的sample语句来实现。
