I must add... Using export with Oracle WILL WORK. No doubt that's why you claim that this is what you do on live databases and get away with it. But it's horribly sub-optimal and will only work if your transactional volume is not high. But if you are running say 20,000 continuous transactions

This statement is naive. Using export will hold a ton of locks on Oracle and the performance will drop like a rock. I think I understand/second Andre's point. A lot of the solutions being bandied around here are band-aids, not best practices. If your Oracle backup strategy consisted of making
