2 questions - exp/imp and coltype

Question

I have two questions - both unrelated : (Oracle 9.2.0.5 running on AIX 5.3)
1. I did a schema export in database DB1 of a user USR1 that has a bunch of tables with data. Some of the tables are in tablespace TS1 whereas some are in TS2. Export is successful.
Now, I want to use this .dmp file to import the objects into another oracle database DB2. Having created the user USR1 in DB2, I want to import all the objects into USR1. But DB2 has only one tablespace TS1.
So, how do I successfully import all the objects into TS1 (even though some of them existed in TS2 of the source database ) ??
2. Based on the data in a column of a table, I want to determine if the value contains alphabets or if it is numeric only. How do I do this ?
For example
SELECT ENAME FROM EMP;
SCOTT
BRIAN2
MATHEWS
GEORGE3
5555
I am looking for an output something like :
SCOTT ALPHA
BRAIN2 ALPHANUMERIC
MATHEWS ALPHA
GEORGE3 ALPHANUMERIC
5555 NUMERIC

Answer 1

Hi,
1) No problem, the dump will be imported into default's target user
2) Maybe this code below help you a little ...
SQL> create table emp (ename varchar2(20));
Table created.
SQL> insert into emp values ('SCOTT');
1 row created.
SQL> insert into emp values ('BRIAN2');
1 row created.
SQL> insert into emp values ('MATHEWS');
1 row created.
SQL> insert into emp values ('GEORGE3');
1 row created.
SQL> insert into emp values ('5555');
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> SELECT ENAME,NVL2(LENGTH(TRIM(TRANSLATE(ENAME,'+-.0123456789',' '))),'ALPHA','NUMERIC') FROM EMP;
ENAME                NVL2(LE
SCOTT                ALPHA
BRIAN2               ALPHA
MATHEWS              ALPHA
GEORGE3              ALPHA
5555                 NUMERIC
SQL>Cheers
