Q:

Oracle exp without partitioning

I'd like to know if there is an option in the "exp" command which disables partitioning when exporting an Oracle 11g database.  As a matter of fact I'm looking for a simple way to import this data into an Oracle XE database which does not support partitioning.  
Thanks

A:

Use the Data Pump import and export tools, unless you have very specific reasons not to (and with Oracle 11g, I can't think of a reason). 
impdp and expdp have an option for doing exactly what you want: partition_options.  Set that to merge and partitioned tables will be transformed into non-partitioned ones (during import or export). 
See the examples to get started with these tools.
