How to import tables, indexes, tablespace, etc from a DMP.

Hello,
I like to know how to import tables, indexes, tablespace, etc from an DMP export of a Oracle 10.2.0.1 to be apply on a Oracle 11.2.0. When I import the DMP file all the data is going to one single Tablespace, for example, Users tablespace.
On the original database we have various tablespace's each separated with different content (tables, indexes) and I like to know if it posible to import the same schema,tables, indexes, tablespace all made with one single DMP Export. I can't use DBUA because the software of the database on the 10.2 is missing, I have only a DMP file (24GB) of DMP!.
Thanks for the reply,
Sorry for my english :).
Regards.

thanks for that but is not what Im looking for.
Look, on my ORCL directory of the oracle 10.2 I have for example this:
CONTROL01.CTL
EXAMPLE01.DBF
REDO01-1.LOG
REDO01.LOG
REDO02-2.LOG
REDO02.LOG
REDO03-3.LOG
REDO03.LOG
RMAN.DBF
SYSAUX01.DBF
SYSTEM01.DBF
TEMP01.DBF
UNDOTBS01.DBF
USERS01.DBF
TABLESPACE1.ORA
TABLESPACE2.ORA
TABLESPACE3.ORA
TABLESPACE4.ORA
TABLESPACE5.ORA
I make a full export to a DMP. Then in my 11.2 version first I created the user then when import the DMP file none of the tablespace (TABLESPACE1, TABLESPACE2, ETC...) is created, all is going to the USERS tablespace, SO, im looking a way to tell imp command that generates the exactly tablespace structure that i was have on the 10.2.
Hope this can explain more my problem.
Thanks again!.

Export / import tablespace with all objects (datas, users, roles)

Hi, i have a problem or question to the topic export / import tablespace.
On the one hand, i have a database 10g (A) and on the other hand, a database 11g (B).
On A there is a tablespace called PRO.
Furthermore 3 Users:
PRO_Main - contains the datas - Tablespace PRO
PRO_Users1 with a role PRO_UROLE - Tablespace PRO
PRO_Users2 with a role PRO_UROLE - Tablespace PRO
Now, i want to transfer the whole tablespace PRO (included users PRO_MAIN, PRO_USER1, PRO_User2 and the role PRO_UROLE) from A to B.
On B, I 've created the user PRO_Main and the tablespace PRO.
On A , i execute following statement:
expdp PRO_Main/XXX TABLESPACES=PRO DIRECTORY=backup_datapump DUMPFILE=TSpro.dmp LOGFILE=TSpro.log
On B:
impdp PRO_Main/XXX TABLESPACES=PRO DIRECTORY=backup_datapump DUMPFILE=TSpro.dmp LOGFILE=TSpro.log
Result:
The User PRO_Main was imported with all the datas.
But i 'm missing PRO_USER1, PRO_User2 and the role PRO_UROLE...
I assume, i 've used wrong parameters in my expd and / or impdp.
It would be nice, if anybody can give me a hint.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Frank

When you do a TABLESPACE mode export by specifying just the tablespaces, then all that gets exported are the tables and their dependent objects. The users, roles, and the tablespace definitions themselves don't get exported.
When you do a SCHEMA mode export by specifying the schemas, you will get the schema definitions (if the schema running the export is privied) and all of the objects that the schema owns. The schema does not own roles or tablespace definitions.
In your case, you want to move
1. schemas - which you already created 1 on your target database
2. roles
3. everything in the tablespaces owned by multiple schemas.
There is no 1 export/import command that will do this. This is how i would do this:
1 - move the schema definitions
a. you can either create these manually or
b1. expdp schemas=<your list of schemas> include=user
b2 impdp the results from b1.
2. move the roles
expdp full=y include=role ...
remember, this will include all roles. If you want to limit what gets exported, then use:
include=role:"in ('ROLE1', 'ROLE2', ETC.)
impdo the roles just exported
3. move the user information
a. If you want to move all of the schema's objects like functions, packages, etc, then you need to use a schema mode
export
expdp user/password schemas=a,b,c ...
b. If you want to move only the objects in those tablespaces, then use the tablespace export
expdp user/password tablespaces=tbs1, tbs2, ...
c. import the dumpfile generated in step 3
impdp user/password ...
Hope this helps.

How to Import/Export database tables from one server to other in oracle8i

Hello friend,
Please can any one tell me how to import/export groups of database tables from one server with oracle to another using VB.net. It would be nice if some one can provide some code of it.
I am a software developer and I am in middle of a large project development, in which I need to export a large oracle database from one server to another efficiently.
Its very urgent so please someone help me.

At command prompt (source db)
set ORACLE_SID=db_name
exp system/password@db_name full=y buffer=104857600 file=(c:\file1.dmp, c:\file2.dmp....) log=c:\exp.log filesize=2000M
Then ftp the export dump files (in binary) to the other server or copy to target server over the network.
At command prompt (target db)
set ORACLE_SID=db_name
imp system/password@db_name full=y ignore=y buffer=104857600 file=(c:\file1.dmp, c:\file2.dmp....) log=c:\imp.log filesize=2000M
If the path names of the datafiles are going to be different in the target server (as compared to the source), then precreate the tablespaces before import. Set buffer value accordingly.

How to import Oracle 8i database objects into an Oracle 10g database ?

Hi all,
We plan to use Oracle 10g , but untill now we use Oracle 8i 8.1.7.4.1 .
I want to know how to import all of our Oracle 8i objects stuff to the new Oracle 10g database ; and should I create tablespaces or can I import simply the Oracle 8i tablespaces.
Thank you very much indeed

If you use 1 database schema for your application , export the schema only
for example
export NLS_LANG env before
export hr/hr file=hr.dmp log=hr.dmp
On 10g
======
create the user,tablespaces etc
import the user
run the utlrp.sql
you are ready
export NLS_LANG env before
import system/password file=hr.dmp log=hr.dmp fromuser=hr touser=hr

How can Import Mysql my database and Table into website -

Hi,
friend i am using CS3 ,i made all need tables in database ,I need to know
how can import that database /table into website.
I know in domin there is admin Mysql inside i have found impotr/export/ but
when I click import i do not know where my database/table been save to import it

If all you are trying to do is change an existing tablepace from a single datafile to multiple datafiles, then a simple import will work fine. Just create the tablespace in the new database with multiple files, then do the import normally.
If you want to move segments into different tablespaces, or change the names of the tablespaces, then you will need to precreate the tables before importing. Then, do the export with indexes=N and constraints=N. Run import with the resulting file, then re-create the constraints and indexes in the new tablespaces.

How to import mailboxes from Time Machine to new Mac

I had Time Machine backing up our old G5. We got a Mac Pro back in November and I never was able to import the mail from the G5 to the Mac Pro so I left it alone and just kept using mail on the old G5. Well, the G5 took a dump last monday. I currently have the Time Machine backup for that computer connected to our Mac Pro (but not using it as backup yet). So, the mail from the G5 should be on the Time Machine backup right? If so, can I import it into Mail on the Mac Pro?
I also pulled one of the hard drives from the G5 and have it in the Mac Pro in the 2nd bay just to make sure that HD wasn't dead. It works fine and I tried importing the .mbox files from that drive but it appears that all the mail on that particular drive are from like 2006. So, again, I need to find out how to import mail from the Time Machine drive. Any thoughts?
10.7.4
Mail 5.2

Back up what data? Mail data? I don't have any yet. I haven't used Apple Mail on this Mac Pro yet.
Edit: Launching Mail and holding Option right afterwards does nothing. Holding down option and then launching Mail does nothing.
Oooooh.... launching time machine while holding down option......
Edit again.... I don't have a Time Machine menu because that disk is not currently set up as time machine for the Mac Pro yet. I don't want to use it as a backup for this computer yet. I just want to be able to pull some of the backed up contents from it until I'm set.

How to Import an Order via Order Import with multiple shipment lines?

Good Morning,
I have a question concerning Oracle's order import functionality. We are importing orders from an outside system and need to consolidate orders by customer id. So if the same customer places 2 orders for different items on the outside system, they should interface to Oracle as a single order to that customer with a shipment line for each ordered item (ex 1.1, 2.1..).
I know this can be done, but do not know how to implement the solution.
Can someone please help?
Thank you!!

How to import and edit a 3D video made with Sony HDR-TD10E camcorder, with .MVC file?

How to import and edit a 3D video made with Sony HDR-TD10E camcorder, with .MVC file?
I have PremierePro-CS5 installed.
This stereo 3D camcorder (Sony HDR-TD10E), output an .MVC (MultiViewCoding) file, coded in H.264 format.
This format is already compatible with Bluray3D stereoscopic format.
1) But, how to edit the .MVC in Premiere?
2) What plugin should I use (if exists) for PremiereProCS5?
3) Cineform Neo3D, can manage the .MVC format? Can convert it to Cineform format file, for import it into Premiere?
4) What software should I use to convert an .MVC video to an AVCHD H.264 file, and import it into PremierePro CS5 or CS5.5 for editing?
Thanks!
Horsepower0171.

Sorry, I am Italian, it is very difficult for me to understand what he says!
I can just read the english text, or follow the actions of a videotutorial!
Thus my question is the same:
-What software can do that?
-Sony Vegas 10 do the Bluray3D authoring?
-For MVC editing, should I wait for Adobe CS6? Or is it planned an update for CS5.5?

Can some please provide instructions on how to import an iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Mac without getting a bunch of duplicates? I tried transferring my pictures using an external hard drive and then copying it to the Pictures folder on my Mac

Can someone please provide instructions on how to import an iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Mac without getting a bunch of duplicates? I tried transferring my pictures using an external hard drive and then copying it to the Pictures folder on my new Mac. I ended up getting a bunch of duplicates. My old Mac has an older version of iPhoto while the new Mac has iPhoto '11. Is that the cause of the problem? Please advise. Thanks.

Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
