I am wondering about how is the internal format of a .dmp file (dump file, or backup and restoration file) used by Oracle RBMS.
Does it follow any standard? Is it optimized in any way?
Thanks.
Edited:
Oracle version: 11g

Yes – the one that Oracle defined for their export format.
You can compress the data, if that’s what you mean.
See the manual for details: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e22490/dp_export.htm#BABCAJHC
