title: Oracle export: table doesn't exist
body: <p>I am trying to export data in oracle 11g</p>
  
  <pre><code>exp user/password file=dump.dmp tables = (table1)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>via sqlplus.</p>
  
  <p>And i get the following error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>About to export specified tables via Conventional Path ...<br/>
    EXP-00011: USER.TABLE1 does not exist<br/> Export terminated
    successfully with warnings.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>But when i check who is the owner of this table:</p>
  
  <pre><code>SELECT owner, table_name from dba_tables where table_name = 'TABLE1';
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get that the owner of <code>TABLE1</code> is <code>USER</code></p>
  
  <p>What should i do to export this table?</p>
  
  <h2>UPDATE</h2>
  
  <p>Actually, i found a solution. I hope it will help someone else.
  Since version 11g Oracle has introduced new feature that is called deferred segment creation. Thus oracle doesn't create table segment if there are now rows in it. So i recreated my table with option 'segment creation immediate'</p>
