Export command in unix
Hi,

executing below command for export in cygwin, though I have already mentioned the username and password with the command but on execution it again asks for username, what modification is needed in the below command ? may be there is some problem in using inverted comma ?

Code:
exp `sys/password@dblocal as sysdba`  file=c:/testexp.dmp log=c:/testexp.log owner=testabc

Regards

Yes, there is a problem using the back-quote, aka `. The contents of the string enclosed in the back-quotes are invoked as a command, and the command's output replaces the back-quoted string. For example:
Code:
file `which ls`

is expanded into:
Code:
file /bin/ls

You need to use single-quotes: '

Look at the bash or ksh manual pages for more information about quoting and command line expansion.
