Importing Oracle 10g export file to Oracle 9i

We have an export file from a 10g database and wanting to import them to 9i database. Is this possible?

Assuming that they have both 10g and 9i database, there is no reasom why they can't use the 9i export and import utilities to load the data.
If the dump file came from a 3rd party's database to whcih they don't have access, then obviously they won't be able to load the file into a 9i database.

  • Can I import a 10g MDL file into a 9.2 repository?

    Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening
    I started with OWB10g and created a repository. After creating several modules I realized I had an Oracle 9.2 database in which to deploy the runtime stuff.
    I was unable to install the server side (AIX 5.2) binaries since I didn't have a 10g Universal Installer.
    I exported the 10g repository information to an MDL file.
    I dropped the 10g repository and created a 9.2 repository and also installed the 9.2 runtime components. All is cool so far.
    I then wanted to import the MDL file from the 10g repository into the 9.2 repository and its then I hit the snag.
    Is it possible to import a 10g MDL file into a 9.2 repository?
    I was hoping the format was a standaard CWM type that would be recognized by either version but it looks like I'm incorrect.
    Any other suggestions on how to get the 10g repository information into the 9.2 repository?
    I still have the 10g repository on another server so I am able to do other types (?) of exports or whatever.
    Many thanks for the help.
    Gary

    Gary,
    I am puzzled by the reason "I was unable to install the server side (AIX 5.2) binaries since I didn't have a 10g Universal Installer." OWB 10g comes with its own copy of 10g Universal Installer. I am not claiming to ever install on AIX myself, but can you list the errors you get, perhaps we can troubleshoot the underlying problem, rather than working around it.
    Not to dodge your question on exporting 10g MDL to 9.2. Even though this is an unsupported and untested scenario, because OWB 10g did not introduce any new objects, you can try editing the MDL as below. I don't see any risk in trying. Find the MDLRELEASE and RELEASE statements at the top (not the comments with #, they don't matter and change values back to 9.2, as in:
    MDLRELEASE=9.2
    RELEASE=9.2.0.2.0
    And becuase OWB 9.2 does not know what Database 10g is, if you have any Database locations in your MDL that are set to 10g, change them to 9.2 as in:
    [...]Oracle Database|9.2|[...]

  • Import a 10g DMP file into a 9.2.0.5 instance

    Is it possible to import a 10g DMP file into a 9.2.0.5 instance? Thanks
    in advance for your thoughts.

    No, do NOT run the catexp.sql from 9i in your 10g db! That was only a valid method with Oracle 6/7 and Oracle 7/8!
    Just use the Oracle 9.2 version of exp to create the dumpfile from the 10g database. You can use SQL*Net to connect to the 10g db from your 9.2 server connecting like system/manager@tnsname. Then use 9.2 imp to import the dumpfile into your 9.2 db.
    If you have access to Metalink please refer to the following note for full details on compatibility between Oracle releases for exp/imp: 132904.1

  • Oracle 8i import 9i's export file??

    I tried to import a 9i export dump file from 8i database, but failed. Is there any way 9i export utility can generate 8i format dump file??

    export/import aren't backward compatible. For example, there may be new/changed datatypes with the higher version that the lower version won't understand.
    You will need to use "imp" from version 9 connecting to your 8i database, but first run the catexp.sql script from the 9i ~/rdbms/admin.
    This is true on all platforms

  • Export from Oracle 8.0.2.0, Import to 10g

    Hello,
    I am trying to create a dump file from a Oracle 8.0.2.0 database. I am using the Oracle Data Manager Export wizard to do so. This dump needs to be imported to Oracle 10g. I have created a blank database in 10g with the same name as in 8.0.2 and I can open it in Enterprise Manager using SYS user. I tried "Import from Export files" from Enterprise manager 10g but it fails to import. Can someone please tell me if I am missing somethings here?

  • How to import oracle 9i database tables only to oracle 10g express edition

    I had a database dump file created in oracle 9i now i want to import the 9i database table to oracle 10xe...

    Depends whats in the export file, was it a full, user, or tablespace export?
    One way to find out whats in the dump file, run an import show=y and it will only pull out the DDL for the objects in the file
    $ imp file=<dumpfile name> log=implog.log show=y
    username: system
    There are lots of options and ways to run imp, 10g Utilities doc has all the details, here's the chapter on the original imp and exp utilities: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/exp_imp.htm#i1023560
    If you only want one schema, just the tables, no data, no indexes, create your target user, and do a schema import no rows, no indexes, maybe leave out the grants and statistics too:
    $ sqlplus /nolog
    SQL> connect system
    SQL> create user target_user identified by <passwd> default tablespace <tblspc>;
    SQL> exit;
    $ imp file=... log=... fromuser=<source username> touser=target_user rows=n indexes=n statistics=none grants=n

  • IMP-00008: unrecognized statement in the export file, oracle 11gr2 on redhat 5

    I am using Oracle 11g R2 on Radhat 5 linux to import(imp) a dmp file with a table with blob data type. I got the following errors with binary non-ascii on the screen and failed imp at that table:
    IMP-00008: unrecognized statement in the export file: (a lot of non-ascii characters followed)
    How do that happen and how do we handle it?
    -Henry

    Hello,
    IMP-00008 may due to several reasons.
    The Dump may be corrupted, you may also hit a Bug and so on, ...
    Is it the only error you got or do you have other error message (for instance IMP-00032) ?
    Else, I don't know why you use EXP/IMP in 11.2, the Original Export/Import is not recommended. You should use DATAPUMP which is much more powerful.
    Please, find enclosed a link about DATAPUMP:

    Hope this help.

    Why are you trying to import BPM zip file are you trying to configure the out of the box workflows?
    They are something that need to be deployed from the process admin on BPM.
    There would be the .exp file you would need as its BPM 10g that you would need to use.

  • 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 ...
