Importing a dump into Oracle...

I have a dump file (*.dmp) from an Oracle database. How do I import it into my Oracle database? The tables are alll created in my Oracle database. The import utility only seems to import from XML or Excel files. I have the Oracle Database 10g Express Edition I downloaded from this site.
I think this is the last piece of the puzzle to get me set up with what I need.
Thanks!

"The import utility only seems to import from XML or Excel files."
The import utility can only understand the dump file (*.dmp) created by export utility. Import cannot read XML or Excel files.
To import the data one example is as follows
c:\> imp file=yourfile.dmp fromuser=scott touser=hary
You can also take the help of imp utility by the following command.
c:\> imp help=y
As concern to version compatibility issues, Please read the following thread.

Importing MYSQL dump into Oracle database

Hi,
I want to import MYSQL database dump into Oracle 9i database.
Can any body suggest as how to proceed for this.
thanks in advance

if you're referring to dump generated by mysqldump then you have a lot of work to do since Oracle does not support sql syntax in the dump file.
alternatively, you can export each table into .csv file using phpMyAdmin and then load that .csv using SQL Loader or external table.

Importing 8i dump into oracle 9i

Hi,
Is it possible to import oracle 8i dump into oracle 9i database.
If yes, whether any data loss would occur if I import oracle 8i dump into oracle 9i server.
Please explain me in this regard.

Yes, I have a same environment as my production database is on Oracle8i and backup(another site) database is on Oracle8i and we have scheduled weekly import which export the data from Oracle8i using Oracle8i 'exp' command and import into Oracle9i using its 'imp' command.
I have never noticed any error while importing... all logs are quite clear and record logs as 'successfully imported'
As Paul indicated, if you are really getting any error, write it specifically.

nidhiHi Nidhi,
No, if you want to use an 11g export dump and import it using 10g utilities to a 10g database.
Yes, if you use 10g export utility to extract 11g database data, and use 10g import utility to import in 10g database.
For more information on export/import compatibility, please check:

Please mention a coding example
Thanks,

Import has a lot of options, so it depends on what you want to do.
C:\> imp help=y
will show you all possible options. An example of full import :
C:\> imp <username>/<password>@<TNS alias> file=<DMP file> full=y log=<LOG file>

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,

The fastest way is to use external tables or sql loader (sqlldr). (If you use external tables or sql loader, you don't use C# at all).

Importing excel data into oracle tables

Hello gurus,
Importing excel data into oracle tables..
I know this is the most common question on the thread ...First, i searched the forum, i found bunch of threads with loading data using sqlloader, converting excel into .Txt, tab delimited file, .csv file etc....
Finally i was totally confused in terms how to get this done....
Here is wat i have
   - Excel file on local computer.
   - i have laod data into dev environment tables(So no risk involved, but want to try something simple)
   - Oracle version 11.1.0.7
   - Sqlplus and toad (editors)
Here is wat i like to do ....i dont know if its possible
    - Without going to unix server can i do everthing on local system by making use of oracle db and sqlplus or toad
   SQLLOADER might be one option...but i dont want to go the unix server for placing files and logs and stuff.
Wat will be best and simplest option to do?? and wat format will best to convert from excel into csv, or txt or tab delimited etc.....
If you suggest sqlloader, any code example will be greatly appriciated.
Thank you so much!!!

Hi,

Imran,
This is increadible option in toad!!! It works absolutely sweet!! I have toad 9.7 version. IT works great. Thank you so much!!You are welcome :)
Well i have further discussion on this ....this option is great if you doing in staging or development area. What if your doing in prod?? If you automating the sqlloader then how do u do it?? I think we still need to stick with traditional approach of laoding data by making use of SQLLoader right ?? If m wrong please correct me.well, in our case, we do have access to a custom schema in prod where we create the staging table and load the data from datafiles.
try this:
load data
infile 'C:\dest.csv'
into table dest_table
fields terminated by "~" optionally enclosed by '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(name,
owner_nm,
description_column,
UPDT_DT DATE 'MM/DD/YYYY')
{code}
you can get more info about sql loader and your error here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96652/ch05.htm
http://www.allinterview.com/showanswers/53766.html
And one more quick question ...i found an example of control file , in that i see .dat format file. Is it a data file ?? can i try that option ?? But in excel i didnt see to convert the .dat format file.
Any thoughts ???
It is same as a delimiter text file.
steps to create a .dat file (from a excel file):
1. Insert a column between two columns and populate it with the delimiter (in our case, it is ~)
2. Save the file as unicode text.
3. Open the file in text editor and remove all the tabs (find an replace with blank)
4. Save the file as "DEST.dat". Select encoding as UTF-8 while saving.
5. Your .dat file is ready.

Importing table dump from oracle into sybase

I was wondering if anyone has ever imported a table dump from oracle into sybase. I just tried it and it didn't work. I used TOAD to create my table dump file but when i imprted it into sybase using bcp in i got the following error
cs_convert: cslib user api layer: common library error: The result is truncated because the conversion/operation resulted in overflow.
CSLIB Message: - L0/O0/S0/N36/1/0:

If you are looking for a basic/standard way to exchange data between Oracle and Sybase, use the CSV format.
It is trivial to write a generic SQL*Plus script for Oracle to extract data from a table (or a SELECT) and spool this into a properly formatted CSV file.
It is also just as easy to use Sybase Bulk Copy utility to load that CSV file into Sybase.
There are also alternative methods. One would be to use Oracle's Heterogeneous Services. You can define a database link in Oracle that connects, via ODBC, to Sybase. And using this database link you can push (insert) data into Sybase.

How to import a data dump into Oracle express

Hi
Thank you for reading my post
how i can import a data dump which is a dump of my Schema in oracle 10g into oracle database express ?
indeed it is just 20 tables and one sequence that i exported from oracle 10g and i want to import it into my oracle express 10g
thanks

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

There are so many treads about export and import in XE.

Import oracle apps dump into oracle database

Dears,
Is it possible to import the dump taken form oracle apps to oracle 11g.
If it is possible could anybody list down the steps.
Thanks
Janani.C

from oracle apps (64 bit) to oracle 11g (64 bit).The source of a dump is a database, not apps. The source may be 11g or 10g or 9i.
If this "apps" environment is an Oracle EBusiness Suite you must follow the instructions on Export-Import of EBusiness Suite which are detailed in a few notes on support.oracle.com Not following the instructions will leave you with a not-working, unsupportable environment.

Importing SAS Datasets into Oracle Tables

Is there a way to load SAS Data sets into Oracle Tables through SQL loader/SQL Dvlpr Migration Workbench/DataPump?
MS Access has facility to import SAS Datasets into its .mdb files,
but Would greatly appreciate if anyone could suggest a direct load into Oracle
Volume : 0.4 M records
Thanks a bunch!

Hello,
Datapump can use Dump from Datapump only. So, I don't think this utility could help you.
SQL*Loader could be useful if you can extract from SAS a formated file (for instance CSV file).
Oracle SQL Developer can help you to migrate data from MS Access to Oracle.
Please, find below a useful link about how to migrate data from SAS to Oracle:
http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:87316000346302739
Hope this help.
