Specifies whether the RBR file includes the data and metadata contained in the database (WITH DATA), or the metadata only (WITH NODATA). The default is WITH DATA. When you specify the WITH NODATA option, the EXPORT statement copies metadata from the source database to an RBR file. Use the IMPORT statement to generate an empty database whose metadata is identical to that of the source database. The WITH NODATA option is not compatible with data dictionary databases (CDD$DATABASE.RDB). If you attempt to export a CDD$DATABASE.RDB database, RDO issues an error message stating that the NODATA option is not valid for data dictionary databases.
