OBDUMPER 3.3.0 and OBLOADER 3.3.0 released in September 2022 can distinguish private cloud environments and public cloud environments in scenarios without sys tenant passwords in limited mode, and support the following features: data import and export by using OceanBase Database Proxy (ODP) (Sharding), configuration of session-level JDBC connection variables, matching file names with regular expressions for single table import, and setting custom invisible characters as line breaks. During the import of CUT files, OBLOADER 3.3.0 also supports custom line breaks, ignoring escape characters, and skipping the first and last lines of data.

New features

Product
Description
OBLOADER and OBDUMPER
  • The --no-sys option is added, which identifies the scenario of a private cloud environment without the sys tenant password. The option distinguishes from the --public-cloud option, which identifies the scenario of a public cloud environment.
  • The --logical-database option is added, which enables data import and export by using ODP (Sharding).
  • You can add the -p option in a command to specify the password.
  • Delimiters in CUT files can be set as invisible strings. In previous versions, a delimiter can only set as a single invisible character.
  • Session-level JDBC connection variables are supported. For more information, see Scenarios and examples.
OBLOADER
  • The --skip-footer option is provided, which allows you to skip the last line of data in a CUT file during import.
  • The --skip-header option is optimized and now allows you to skip the first line of data in a CUT file during import.
  • The --file-regular-expression option is provided for regular expression matching of file names during import, which is only applicable to single-table import.
  • The --line-separator option is provided for customization of line breaks in a CUT file during import.
  • The --ignore-escape option is provided, which allows you to ignore the escape operation on characters in a CUT file during import. By default, the escape operations are not ignored.
  • The ob-partition-calculator component is upgraded to V1.1.11-SNAPSHOT.
For more information, see Command-line options of OBLOADER.
OBDUMPER A new feature is provided for you to set custom invisible characters as line breaks. For more information, see Command-line options of OBDUMPER.

Fixed issues

  • The Length value of the preprocessing function in the control file is inconsistent with the Length value in MySQL when OBLOADER imports data to or OBDUMPER exports data from OceanBase Database in MySQL mode.

  • The specified --flashback-scn/--flashback-timestamp/--snapshot option is invalid for empty tables when OBDUMPER exports data.

  • OBDUMPER reports an error when it exports the FLOAT data type from OceanBase Database in Oracle mode.

  • The precision of floating-point numbers is lost when OBDUMPER exports the FLOAT data type from OceanBase Database in Oracle mode.

  • When the -exclude-data-type/--exclude-column-names option is specified for the export of a file in the --ddl format by using OBDUMPER, the file cannot be exported. During the export of only schemas, the -exclude-data-type/--exclude-column-names option takes effect only when the table contains the same data type.

  • The SEQUENCE/CONSTANT control function does not take effect when OBDUMPER exports data.

  • The control file does not take effect when the keyword, such as SEQUENCE/CONSTANT, defined for the control file is used as the column name.

  • The error record incorrect string value is not recorded in the ob-loader-dumper.bad file when OBLOADER imports data.

  • When the number of columns recorded in a data file is greater than the number of columns in the real schema, OBLOADER cannot import the entire file.

  • The annotation -- cannot be correctly identified when OBLOADER imports files in the --mix/--ddl format.
