Can I import a tablespace into Oracle 10g Express Edition

I am very new to Oracle 10g Express Edition. We have a server running Oracle Enterprise Edition and we have been creating a transportable tablespace to be imported into a few servers. This works fine for us. I would like to find out if I can import the tablespace into Oracle 10g Express Edition. Someone told me that I should be able to do that but I have no clue to how to do it. If this is possible, can someone tell where to find the information how to do this.
Thanks,
RJ

I finally tried it and I got the following errors:
IMP-00017: following statement failed with ORACLE error 721:
"BEGIN sys.dbms_plugts.checkCompType('COMPATSG','10.2.0.2.0'); END;"
IMP-00003: ORACLE error 721 encountered
ORA-00721: changes by release 10.2.0.2.0 cannot be used by release 10.2.0.1.0
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_PLUGTS", line 2004
ORA-06512: at line 1
IMP-00000: Import terminated unsuccessfully
Am I right that the server that I exported the tablespace is using Oracle 10.2.0.2.0 while Oracle Express is 10.2.0.1.0? I looked around and I did not see Oracle Express version 10.2.0.2.0 that I can download. Is there a patch or something to upgrade it?
Thanks,
RJ

  • Can you import Access into Oracle 10g Express Edition?

    Hi all,
    I know you can import files from Access into some other versions of Oracle, but is it possible with 10g XE?
    I've been looking at all the tools in my browsers and none seem to do it.
    I guess I'll need to convert the tables into text, and then from text into Oracle?
    Thanks

    Why not give SQLDeveloper's migration a shot?

    hello everybody
    i'm a student

    yaa i'm sure about that .
    i want one more instance of database.Can you perhaps explain why? I have a fair share of production and development servers - and not a single one of them needs to run more than one database instance.
    So I'm interested in what requirement you are trying to satisfy by using two database instances on a single platform.
    Oh yeah - if you want to create a custom XE instance (different SID, different tablespace sizes, more/less PL/SQL stuff installed, hack standard), make a copy of your XE db creation script (in your XE's +$ORACLE_HOME/bin+ and called createdb.sh ) and modify that for your needs.
    PS. even with a different SID, only a single XE instance can be run at a time - you can however have 2 different ones defined and then use one at a time (e.g. testing international settings, init param differences, etc.)

    Oracle is installed on my own computer.I think ISA should do nothing with it.And I have removed proxy setting in Internet exploer,but the error still happed.
    I used netstat-a,and can find this:

    does it mean my oracle http listener is started?

    Open a command line and

    connectivity is possible. If not, something is
    blocking, and that something is usually a firewall.ping 127.0.0.1. I can connect to 127.0.0.1,very fast.but when I ping 127.0.0.1:8080 ,Can't get response.

But i am not able to connect my oracle 10g express edition database. It throws error ORA-12154 : TNS could not resolve service name.( same error displayed while trying to connect from SQL Plus).But from toad i am able to access the database. May be because here I am able to select the proper home.

    can any one suggest what the actual problem is?
    Thanks ..........

    Hello,
    Oracle 10g XE is rather specific and, I'm not sure that you can upgrade it to 10.2.0.4 .
    However, Oracle published an Upgrade Guide for Oracle Express Edition but, it's limited to *10.2.0.3*:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/server.102/b32391/toc.htm
    But be careful:
    Once you have upgraded to Oracle Database 10g, you cannot downgrade back to Oracle Database Express Edition.Hope this help.

  • An issue while installing oracle 10g express edition on Ubuntu 10.04-64bit

    Hi,
    I'm running into an issue while installing oracle 10g express edition on my Ubuntu 10.04-64 bit installed machine using oracle-xe-universal_10.2.0.1-1.0_i386.deb package. The issue actually came up when I was trying to reinstall the package after uninstalling it due to some problem I had with my login credentials. To elaborate further on it, the /etc/init.d/oracle-xe script does not get created when I execute the debian package and thus i'm unable to configure the required credentials and stuff after the installation. I doubt whether this has something to do with the procedure I followed when uninstalling the previous package it. But what I did was just what's mentioned in the following [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/install.102/b25144/toc.htm] user guide published by oracle.
    Another important clue would be, the platform of my machine is amd64bit although I'm dealing with an installation package preferred for i386. But I believe it's the only thing available in the oracle software download section. Hence I had to use the --force-architecture option to install it. But after reading some post published on this forum, I've figured out that it does not affect the usual execution of the software. Anyway,  I would greatly appreciate some help on this matter.

    Hi,
    Finally I've managed to find a solution for this issue. Thanks a lot for all the replies.
    Here's how I got rid of it.
    Addressing all the facts one by one,
    1.The problem of not getting the /etc/init.d/oracle-xe script generated was avoided
    by removing all the configuration files that were previously created while installing
    the product. The following command can be used to accomplish that task.
    *$ dpkg --purge oracle-xe*
    2.Next, Initially the password I used during the configuration process was "admin".
    Although I tried a couple of times installing the product providing the aforementioned
    password, the web UI kept prompting "Invalid Credentials" message not allowing me
    to login. But, this particular issue could be avoided by giving some other simple
    password.
    Finally, got it working and once again thanks a bunch for taking the burden of
    replying this thread.
    Cheers,
    Prabath

  • Backing up all data and objects of Oracle 10g Express Edition...

    Hi,
    I have tables, packages, views, procedures, etc. in Oracle 10g Express Edition, running on Windows XP. I would like to create a backup of the complete database (objects, relationships, all data, etc) into a file that I can restore in case the database crashes.
    What do I do?
    Thanks.

    I am actually using it for Production. Yes, I would need objects and data.I would suggest to look at the Standard Edition as well if you are using it for production.
    Is there a way to backup everything without data and then backup everything with data? Also, is there a way to restore everything without data and then restore everything with data?What's the meaning of "backup everything withiut data" and "then backup everything with data" ? The data is in the tables alone. The rest of the objects are not containing data but are using it, be it views, procedures etc. There is no such restore like without data. Without data, all what you would be getting would be structures of the tables which is going to be of no use. The export/import tool, is a simple tool which can put the tables (and other objects as well) along with their data in your dumpfile . In the situation of loss of a table, you can do an import from that dump file and you can restore the table back(with or without data, depends on the choice of yours while running Import command) . But this is just going to be a logical recovery of the object(s). For a complete database, it's better to use RMAN which would copy the datafiles and keep it with itself. Later, when you have a crash, you can restore those files to get teh database recovered. But if you want complete security, its better to put your db in the archive log and then do the backup along with the archive log files.
