Import a database dump

Hi all,
I have tow database in my oracle server 10g , mydb1 and mudb2 , and have tow database dumps ,mydb1.dmp and mydb2.dmp. I learned from other forums that to be able to import the dump file i need that the specific database should be started and up . My question is how to start one database mydb1 and in the same time the other database mydb2 is down because by default they are started at the same time .

Hi,
Wat is the OS Are you using?
I am just guessing it should be windows, Whenever windows startup there is a registry entry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\oracle_home_name.
There will be a key
ORA_SID_AUTOSTART. SID is your database SID.
If it is set to true, the databases will start autoamtically, you can change it to false if you dont need it.
Or if you navigate to the services.msc you can find the ORACLESERVICESID where you have two types of start parameters 1) Automatic (whenver windows starts it will automatically start the db)
2) Manual (You can start the DB whenever you need it)
To start database connect to the sql prompt and issue STARTUP to shutdown the db issue SHUTDOWN ON sql prompt.

Export/Import full database dump fails to recreate the workspaces

Hi,
We are studying the possibility of using Oracle Workspace to maintain multiple versions of our business data. I recently did some tests with the import/export of a dump that contains multiple workspaces. I'm not able to import the dump successfully because it doesn't recreate the workspaces on the target database instance, which is an empty Oracle database freshly created. Before to launch the import with the Oracle Data Pump utility, I have the "LIVE" workspace that exists in the WMSYS.WM$WORKSPACES_TABLE table. After the import is done, there is nothing in that table...
The versions of the Oracle database and Oracle Workspace Manager are the same on source and target database:
Database version (from the V$VERSION view):
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
CORE 10.2.0.4.0 Production
TNS for 64-bit Windows: Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
Workspace Manager version (from the WM_INSTALLATION view):
OWM_VERSION: 10.2.0.4.3
In order to recreate the tablespaces successfully during the full import of the dump, the directory structure for the tablespaces is the same on the target database's computer. I used the instructions given in this document, section "1.6 Import and Export Considerations" at page 1-19:
http://www.wyswert.com/documentation/oracle/database/11.2/appdev.112/e11826.pdf
Considering that the release of Oracle database used is version 10.2.0.4, I use the following command to import the dump since it doesn't contain the WMSYS schema:
impdp system/<password>@<database> DIRECTORY=data_pump_dir DUMPFILE=expfull.dmp FULL=y TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION=append LOGFILE=impfull.log
The only hints I have in the import log file are the following block of lines:
1st one:
==============================

By the way, the computer of the source database is Vista 64 in english and the destination computer is Vista 64 in french, do you think this has anything to do with these error messages? The parameters of the NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS view are the same in the source and target database...

The call to the TO_DATE function with the string of the date format is incompatible with the format and language set in the NLS parameters of my database. Since I know that the "imp" and "exp" commands work client side (unlike "impdp" and "expdp"), I did a full export of the source database from the computer on which I try to import the dump to have the same language exported in the dump and I was able to import the dump successfully.
But, I would like to use the Data Pump tool instead of the old import and export tools. How would it be possible to set the NLS parameters that "impdp" must use before to launch the import of the dump?
The NLS parameters are set to the "AMERICAN" settings in both source and destination database when I validate that with the "NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS" view. The dump I did with "expdp" on the source database exported the data with the "AMERICAN" settings as well...
On the destination database, the computer language is in french and I guess it is considered by the Data Pump import tool since it outputs the log in the language of the computer and it tries to do a TO_DATE with the wrong date format because it works with the "CANADIAN FRENCH" settings...
Any suggestions? I'll continue to read on my side and re-post if I find the solution.
Thanks!

Import Oracle DataBase dump file Into Sql Server With out connection oracle using c# code.

Hi All,
I would like to ask how can imports my dump oracle database file data and struct into sql server 2005
with out make connection oracle.
best regards.
Hakim.

Hi Hakim.
Based on your title, what I understood there is a issue regarding transfer oracle db dump to sql database using C# code. Am I right? If so, I am afraid there is no build-in method which meet your requrements in .NET framework. You must provides
OraDump Export API to allow developers integrate corresponding capabilities into their applications. These capabilities are about export data from Oracle dump files into popular databases like Microsoft SQL server. Every developer
having OraDump Export API can write just few lines of code on C# or Visual Basic to implement the appropriate export process.
I am search a third-party link, but it's a paid service.
http://www.convert-in.com/data-migration-service.htm
If you don't have to with code, Please refer to: Migrating Oracle Databases to SQL Server 2000

Import dmp database with EE8MSWIN1250 to AL32UTF8 (XE)

I have problem with importing dmp database with EE8MSWIN1250 to AL32UTF8 (XE)
I've tried to import my database dump with settings NLS_LANG=POLISH_POLAND.AL32UTF8 but it didn't work
I had
IMP-00019: row rejected due to ORACLE error 12899
IMP-00003: ORACLE error 12899 encountered
ORA-12899: value too large for column "MYDB"."AP_ARKUSZE_PRZECENY"."PRZEC_KOD" (actual: 26, maximum: 25)
Column 1 1
Column 2 Arkusz ĹredniowaĹĽon\$NR$
Column 3 16-WRZ-2002:00:00:00
so I exported my database with NLS_LANG=POLISH_POLAND.AL32UTF8 and next I tried to import this dump but it still didn't work.
Anybody knows how to import dump database ??

It isn't correct approach. Column size is one of database constraints and you compromised it, so beware.
Correct approach is modifying columns to apply char length semantics, it means you should use following construct
alter table tablename modify columnname varchar2(10 CHAR)
In your code replace your execute immediate line with:
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER TABLE ' || tn || ' MODIFY ' || cn || ' VARCHAR2(' || crec.data_length || ' CHAR )';
Look at this example:
This is your original table
SQL>
SQL> create table T2( c varchar2(10 byte) );
Tabulka vytvořena.
SQL>
SQL> insert into T2 values ('0123456789');
1 řádka vytvořena.
SQL> insert into T2 values ('0123456789 few more');
insert into T2 values ('0123456789 few more')
CHYBA na řádku 1:
ORA-12899: value too large for column "MIGR"."T2"."C" (actual: 19, maximum: 10)
values longer then 10 characters are not allowed, it was your constraint, and now your modification
SQL>
SQL> alter table T2 modify c varchar2(20); -- 2*10
Tabulka změněna.
SQL> insert into T2 values ('+ěčřýýáí');
1 řádka vytvořena.
You solved the problem, you shoud be praised
SQL> insert into T2 values ('0123456789 few more');
1 řádka vytvořena.
But, you compromised your data model
SQL>
SQL> rem correct approach
SQL>
SQL> delete from T2 where length(c)>10;
1 řádka vymazána.
This solve both problems, and constraint is still valid
SQL>
SQL> alter table T2 modify c varchar2(10 char);
Tabulka změněna.
SQL>
SQL> insert into T2 values ('+ěčřýýáí');
1 řádka vytvořena.
SQL> insert into T2 values ('0123456789 few more');
insert into T2 values ('0123456789 few more')
CHYBA na řádku 1:
ORA-12899: value too large for column "MIGR"."T2"."C" (actual: 19, maximum: 10)

Need help for importing oracle 10G dump into 9i database

hi, Someone help me to import oracle 10G dump into 9i database. I'm studying oracle . Im using oracle 10G developer suite(downloaded from oracle) and oracle 9i database. I saw some threads tat we can't import the higher version dumps into lower version database. But i'm badly need help for importing the dump...
or
someone please tell me the site to download oracle 9i Developer suite as i can't find it in oracle site...

I didnt testet it to import a dump out of a 10g instance into a 9i instance if this export has been done using a 10g environment.
But it is possible to perform an export with a 9i environment against a 10g instance.
I am just testing this with a 9.2.0.8 environment against a 10.2.0.4.0 instance and is working so far.
The system raises an EXP-00008 / ORA-37002 error after exporting the data segments (exporting post-schema procedural objects and actions).
I am not sure if it is possible to perform an import to a 9i instance with this dump but maybe worth to give it a try.
It should potentially be possible to export at least 9i compatible objects/segments with this approach.
However, I have my doubts if this stunt is supported by oracle ...

From a complete database dump, I need to import 8 schemas

I have a complete database dump made with datapump on oracle 10g on Linux.
I need to import only 8 schemas.
In my parfile I have to use the INCLUDE option?
How can I tell oracle to import only these 4 schemas?

Hi,
What is the version you are using.. ??
In my parfile I have to use the INCLUDE option?
As per yu requirment it might not fit, I suppose
The INCLUDE and EXCLUDE parameters can be used to limit the export/import to specific objects.
Second thing is that when you use INCLUDE parameter only those objects specified by it will be included and EXCLUDE will make sure that all objects except those specified by it will be included in the export.
How can I tell oracle to import only these 4 schemas?
Better I suggest that import the full dB in to some test DB, then do an schema level export with respective your requirement.
As, sybrand had pointed the correct point of SCHEMAS, which I missed out..

Import a user dump into Oracle 8i Database

Please help, I tried to import a user dump file to Oracle 8i Database by command line (imp system/manager@instance).
However, reture a message with" imported successful with warning". And I couldn't connect the database with the new user login.
Any advice?

Hi,
I
1) export the data from your source database XE
C:\WINDOWS\system32>exp userid=USER1@XE1 file=user1.dmp
2) in the target XE database you would have to recreate the same user, e.g. USER1
3) run imp on the same dump file:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>imp userid=USER1@xe2 file=user1.dmp full=yes ignore=yes

Problem while importing same data dump in 2 databases

Hi,
Oracle Version : 11G r2
I have installed oracle 11g and created a database db1. I created tablespace tbl1, user usr1, granted required permissions and imported oracle data dump into it using the impdp command.
Now, i want to import the same dump into another database. I created a fresh database db2. But the dump requires tablespace name as tbl1 and user name as usr1.
How do i import the dump into this new db2.
FYI - I tried a few things. I created db2. Logged into it using sqlplus system/pwd@db2 command. Created a new tablespace tbl1 and user usr1. I was able to create them successfully without errors like 'already existing'. But when i issue the impdp command, i get 'table already exists' for all tables in the dump. :(
Please tell me how to do this.
Thanks,
Anandhi

Hi,
When you import second fresh database, it means there haven't tbl1 tablespace. 1. you can create this tablespace in second database.
2. If you don't need create again same table space then you must use REMAP_TABLESPACE and REMAP_SCHEMA option of impdp
for example :
inpdp REMAP_TABLESPACE=TBL1:USERS REMAP_SCHEMA=USR1:USR2 DUMPFILE=DATA_PUMP_DIR:DUMP.DMPRegards

Using Imp utility to Import a database on 10g release 2

I am using the Imp Utility on 10g release 2 to import from a 10g release 1 database. I have created a new tablesapce and need the dmp to be imported to the new tablespace. But it goes and imports to the system tablespace. The command i use is
imp <User name>/<password> file=<file_name> log =<log name> full=Yes
the user name and password i use is the username and password i gave in the installation for system tables. When i specify the tablespace imp <User name>/<password>@<tablespace> it comes with "ORACLE error 12154 encountered".
Do i need to create a new user to get the import done. How do i create it?

The contents of the dump will be imported to the tablespace under which you run the import.
If your dump from Oracle 10G R1 is a complete database dump and you need to import the data of a specific user in the dump, then you can use fromuser= touser= options in the import command.
If your Oracle 10GR2 database is blank, then you need to create the user in which you can import the data. You can use a command like this.
CREATE USER sidney
IDENTIFIED BY out_standing1
DEFAULT TABLESPACE example
QUOTA 10M ON example
TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp;
Note: sidnye, out_standing1, example, temp are all arbitrary names. You need to match these with your environment.

Error while importing a container dump file

Hi,
I am trying to import a container from one Oracle Server to another server which are located at two different locations. I have exported the container from the first server and FTPed it to the second server and tried to import the same into the second server. While doing this, i got the following message:

Import terminated successfully with warnings.
I am able to import the same dump file into another server located in the same location as the Server One without any issues.
One thing that i have observed is: On the Server 2, if a container is already present and the XTSYS_ tables are already populated, when i tried to import this dump file, it asked me "Temporary tables are already populated. Do you want to overwrite them. Otherwise the existing temporaty tables will be used for this purpose". If i clicked No, then it imported the container without any problems, BUT, the new container contents are not the same as found on Server 1's container contents.
Can somebody suggest what could be the problem and how can i import that dump file.
thanks a lot in advance
regards,
Vijay

Vijay,
There is a note <Note:160378.1> on the Oracle Support site: http://metalink.oracle.com.
There are a number of possibilities, the most likely of these is that you are using the wrong import/export utilities for an older or newer database version.
You don't mention which release of Designer you are using, Designer 9i uses the 9.0.1 export/import utilities by default. You cannot use the 9.0.1 export/import utilities against an 8.1.7 database.
If not already installed, install the 8.1.7 export/import utilities from the Oracle 8i Release 3 (8.1.7) Client Cd into a new Oracle Home.
In the Registry, change [hklm]\software\oracle\HOMEx\repos61\EXECUTE_EXPORT
and EXECUTE_IMPORT to point to the 8.1.7 export/import utitilites.
(HOMEx corresponds to your Designer 9i Oracle Home)
A typical value for them would be:
EXECUTE_EXPORT=d:\des_817\bin\exp.exe
EXECUTE_IMPORT=d:\des_817\bin\imp.exe
or
EXECUTE_EXPORT=d:\V817\bin\exp.exe
EXECUTE_IMPORT=d:\V817\bin\imp.exe
After changing the parameters in the Registry, verify if they are active by going into the Repository Administration Utility, Check Requirements,
Parameter Settings and look for EXECUTE_EXPORT and EXECUTE_IMPORT.

When using export/import between different releases, you need to use the older version of export to create your dump file. In your case, you must use the 8.0.5 export utility to export from your 8.1.7 database. You need a tnsname in your 8.0.5 tnsnames.ora that points to your 8.1.7 database. Then you use SQL Net to connect and do the export. So, instead of doing exp system/manager you would do exp system/manager@tnsname. Just be sure to use the 8.0.5 export, and your import will work fine.

Import directory of *.dump files into TimesTen, is it possible?

Hello,
I am migrating a bunch of tables from one TimesTen database to another. I have used SQL Developer to export the tables out using the ttbulkcp utility and am now looking at importing it into the other database. What is the best way to do this? All the examples I have seen for ttbulkcp show importing a single dump file, is there anyway to import a directory of dump files?
Thanks in advance,
Michael

Thanks Chris, yep that was plan B, just wanted to make sure I wasn't reinventing the wheel.
Cheers,
Michael.
