Database merge with the exp and imp...

Hi All,
I am very new to these dba activities. I have two databases with the same schema and has some data in both of it. Now I would like to merge both the databases and come up with one database. In this process I don't wanted to loose any data.
Does the oracle exp/imp helps in this scenario ? If not any other tools helps us in doing this?
What are the best practices to follow when we are doing this kind of work?
What kind of verifications we need to do pre/post merge ?
Any help would really be appreciated... Thank you in adavance...

K.What do you mean with "merging" data?
How many objects are in both schemas?
Are both schemas need to be merged in mutual way or in one way?
Do you have option to use MERGE command for each object in the schema?

P.S. If the version of the database is greater than 9i, then use Data Pump (expdp/impdp) instead of deprecated exp/imp utitlies

  • Hi, I have updated my MacPro, Iphone and Ipad and installed the Icloud. My Ipod merges with the Ipad and visa versa but neither merges with the notebook nor does the notebook merge with them.

    Home Sharing is designed to work on your local network not across the internet/cloud.
    Stuff is accessed under the Computers column where your local iTunes library on a local computer would appear.
    Home Sharing would share your iTunes content (i.e. stuff stored in itunes on the computer, not in the cloud) with AppleTV or an iPad etc on the SAME network.
    AppleTV2 will not be able to see itunes content on the work computer over the internet.  It's not designed to.  if the work computer was on the home network it would.
    iCloud is in it's infancy and is not a mature product - iTunes TV Show purchases appear on AppleTV, but currently music does not unless you are subscribed to iTunes Match. I find this rather odd to be honest, along with the inability to buy music on AppleTV2.  Movies purchased in iTunes are not authorised for iCloud viewing currently either.
    Maybe it has something to do with iTunes Match 'getting in the way' - i think they assume you'll use that whereas you really want to be able to access Purchased music from the cloud without subscribing to itunes Match which is overkill for some.

  • I have tow itunes libraries.  Music from one library has merged with the other and I can not delete the songs.  They keep coming back.

    I have two ipod touch libraries under my account.  One for my daughter and one for me.  I bought my daughter an Iphone and then opened her ipod touch libraryon the computer (Windows Vista).  I plugged in her iphone so that she can have the stuff from her ipod touch on her new phone.  Somehow her library has partially merged with my library.  My ipod touch now has some of HER games and music on it.  I went into my library and deleted these games and songs, but they keep coming back.  How do I get rid of these once and for all.  I don't want to be shuffling AC/DC, Rob Zombie, and then get Justin Bieber all of a sudden while sitting at a red light in traffic.

  • Database link with the alias and full description in the connect string

    Hi,
    i have created database link with alias in tnsentry and full description
    and suppose i have removed the tnsnames.ora file what will be the impact on the database link that is whether database link will work or not i am sure db link created with alias won't work and how about db link created with full description and which one you prefer
    Thanks

    # Parameter file initora for Database prd
    ### Global database name is db_name.db_domain
    global_names = TRUE
    db_name = prd
    db_domain = world
    # TNSNAMES.ORA for prd ###############################
    prd.world = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (COMMUNITY = tcp.world)
    (PROTOCOL = TCP) (Host = 100.10.100.1) (Port = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = prd) (GLOBAL_NAME = prd.world)
    (SERVER = DEDICATED)))
    Our database link points from the local database test to the remote database prd. Therefore we need the global database name for prd. Ask the remote database administrator for these information or connect to prd and execute the following query on prd:
    SQL> select GLOBAL_NAME from GLOBAL_NAME;
    GLOBAL_NAME
    prd.WORLD
    CREATE DATABASE LINK prd
    CONNECT TO system IDENTIFIED BY system_passwd
    USING 'prd';--- alias
    so the connection description will be ---select ename from [email protected]
    useful link

  • How do i mail merge with the new Pages and Numbers?

    How do I mail merge with the new Pages and Numbers?
    On Pages 09 I have a document that draws variable data from a spreadsheet created in Numbers.
    With the new Pages and Numbers program update, my links are lost and I am unable to see how to correct this.

    Thanks Peter,
    very disappointing.
    My Pages 09 keeps opening in the new one.
    I dont think they want me to be a loyal customer anymore.
    They changed Final Cut Pro, so now I use Premier Pro
    Aperture 3 has been left behind so now I moved to Lightroom 4.
    And now Pages 5 does not have a vital component, so back to Word.
    Sad day
    Thanks again

  • I bought a movie on iTunes and when it loads up I can only play the bonus features and not the actual film. The title screen is also glitched and merges with the scene selection. I don't think it downloaded properly. what can I do?

    I bought a movie on iTunes and when it loads up I can only play the bonus features and not the actual film. The title screen is also glitched and merges with the scene selection. I don't think it downloaded properly. what can I do?

    It happens sometimes. Delete the current copies, don't hide from iTunes in the cloud if prompted, close iTunes, reopen, download from iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
    While downloading click the download icon at the top right and uncheck Enable simultaneous downloads. You may find it more reliable that way.

  • Using expdp and impdp instead of exp and imp

    Hi All,
    I am trying to use expdp and impdp instead of exp and imp.
    I am facing few issues while using expdb. I have a Job which exports data from one DB server and then its imported so another DB server. Both DB servers are run on separate machines. Job runs on various clients machine and not on any of DB server.
    For using expdp we have to create DIRECTORY and as I understand it has to be created on DB server. Problem here is Job can not access DB Server or files on DB server. Also dump file created is moved by Job to other machines based on requirement( Usually it goes to multiple DB server).
    I need way to create dump files on server where job runs.
    If I am not using expdp correctly please guide. I am new to expdp/impdp and imp/exp.
    Regards,

    Thanks for quick reply ..
    Job executing expdb/impdp runs on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.6 (Tikanga)
    ORACLE server Release 11.2.0.2.0
    Job can not access the ORACLE server as it does not have privileges (In fact there is no user / password to access ORACLE server machines). Creating dump on oracle server and moving is not an option for this JOB. It has to keep dump with itself.
    Regards,

  • Where's the music on iTunes, and what's with the quality and compatibility?

    I'm just curious as to whether anyone else has had this issue or not: Does anyone else feel like, after searching for specific songs, there's just little to nothing in the database? I feel like most of my searches are pointless because iTunes has either no data of my requested search and/or only has bits and pieces of it.
    Another question I have: After having a slightly successful search, why am I left with low quality tunes? I mean, you can hear the compression... badly. (I know it's not my speakers)
    Last question: If I'm paying for the song, shouldn't I be allowed to download a universal file? iTunes uses a unique format that no other application uses. In other words, more money has to be spend for m4a to mp3 converters (unless you're a cracker [not a racial comment]).
    To me, I value iTunes and its team, so I'm sorry if I've offended anyone. I understand there are contracts involved with the artists and it's hard to please ALL of the subscribers. But seriously, where's the music on iTunes, and what's with the quality and compatibility?
    Custom   Windows XP Pro   Negative, I am a meat popsicle.

    Today I thought of finally putting lyrics on my songs. So I've been quite some time busy doing that, then I tried it on my iPad (2) and I can't find them. Just as the people above say. Then I went to search where I can find them and I found this page. I'm really dissapointed and I don't understand how something like this could happen. So I hope Apple will fix this soon.
    (I'm just posting this so that Apple will do something about it)

  • If I Back Up My IPhone, Does The New Back Up Merge With The Old One

    If I Back Up My IPhone, Does The New Back Up Merge With The Old One?

    Apple states that it maintains up three of your most recent backups.  This should mean that if you back up, you would still have the option to revert to one of your earlier backups.  Unfortunately, the only way to know if earlier backups exist is to attempt to restore an iCloud backup and see which ones are shown as being available.

    I am trying to print using the black and white cartridge only because magenta is out of ink but I'm getting the following error message in HP Photosmart C7200 series print dialog:

    Thank you

    CC is for retail use with 20 GB of storage space, CCT is where number of seats are purchased & assigned by one program admin where each seat gets 100GB of storage space.
    You can not have both the CC & team in one account as it will only provide you added storage space of 120 GB but you can activate the CC any of them or either of them twice as CC is based on Adobe ID.

  • I am doing a lot of presenting with the ipad and want an app that would bullseye or show where I am to my audience. Anyone know of something like this?

    I am doing a lot of presenting with the ipad and want an app that would bullseye or show where I am to my audience. Anyone know of something like this?

    It sounds like either your hard drive or the SATA cable that connects it to the motherboard are failing. This could be heat related in your case, which is why you see it after it runs awhile. You can take it to the Genius Bar for a free evaluation. If you decide to test it yourself, I usually suggest moving the hard drive to an external enclosure. If it works there for awhile, the cable is probably the issue.

    I have upgraded Apple Aperture from version 2 to version 3 and I'm having a problem with the "Highlights and Shadows" adjustment. According to the user's manual, I should have access to an advanced disclosure triangle which would allow me to adjust mid contrast, colour, radius, high tonal width and low tonal width.
    If anyone has any suggestions as to how to access this advanced section, I'd be most grateful.

    Hi David-
    The advanced adjustments in the Highlights & Shadows tool were combined into the "Mid Contrast" slider in Aperture 3.3 and later. If you have any images in your library that were processed in a version of Aperture before 3.3, there will be an Upgrade button in the Highlights & Shadows tool in the upper right, and the controls you asked about under the Advanced section. Clicking the Upgrade button will re-render the photo using the new version of Highlights & Shadows, and the Advanced section will be replaced with the new Mid Contrast slider. With the new version from 3.3 you probably don't need the Advanced slider, but if you want to use the older version you can download it from this page:

  • How do I open GarageBand 09 project with the Amp and Pedals Plugins?

    My client sent me via YouSendIt online me his GarageBand 09 v5.0.1 project to tune up Logic Pro 8.0.2. Upon opening the project I receive the message, "Warning! This Project was created by a newer Logic Pro version. This may cause problems. Please update Logic Pro." After I hit "OK", a message says, "Logic Pro: Plug-in “Pedals” not available!, and then "Logic Pro: Plug-in “AmpSim2” not available! Where can I download or get the update that I need for Logic Pro with the Pedals and AmpSim2 Plug-Ins and when will it be available? What other version of Logic Pro is there?

    Quoted from Foxboy71:
    "aren't the pedals plugs and these new gizmos AU Plugins? Then they should be able to be put into Logic somehow. If not, how did Apple implement them into Garageband (and why!)?"
    The folowing excerpts were taken from a Sound On Sound article at http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/aug06/articles/applenotes_0806.htm
    "This theory actually plays out, even at the moment, when you consider that every update to Logic includes features to make it compatible with songs created in the latest version of Garage Band. And some of these features have actually benefited the high-end user, such as Apple Loops, in a rare example of the low end driving the high end, as opposed to the other way around."
