Importing to Oracle 8i

I am not able to import .dmp file from Oracle 9i to 8i. Is it Possible?. How to retrieve my data from 9i to 8i. Or could anyone give me the reasons why i should switch over to 9i?.

i don't have access to metalink. but i heard from forum that it is possible by first exporting 9is database using 8is net8 and then importing the dump file into 8i. is it possible, if so, please explain how to export 9is database using oracle 8i net8 tool

  • Export and Import in Oracle

    I need to export users with tables and data from Oracle 8.0.4 and import into Oracle 8.1.7.
    But the condition is that we need to retain the Japanese characters.
    I did this using simple export and import functions but Japanese characters were imported as Junk.
    Can somebody tell me what is the clean way of exporting and importing such that Japanese charaters are not converted to Junk.

    You must set the correct characterset before exporting and importing (I don't know which characterset is correct for you, but choosing the same characterset as the characterset of your database should work).
    Use NLS_LANG environment variable to do this,
    NLS_LANG=<LANGUAGE>_<TERRITORY>.<CHARACTERSET>. On UNIX if NLS_LANG is not set explicitly, it defaults to AMERICAN_AMERICA.US7ASCII, that means all special characters cannot be translated.
    On Windows NLS_LANG is set at installation time, it corresponds to the settings of Windows itself.

  • Is it possible to import an Oracle 10 (export .dmp file) into Oracle 9 db ?

    hi Oracle Guru's
    Is it possible to import a oracle 10 (export .dmp file) into an oracle 9 database ?
    I tried & got the following error ...
    IMP-00010 not a valid export file, header failed verificationperhaps their is a work-around ?
    thanks

    Hi
    You can take export from a previous version and import to a later version. Having said that, there is still a workaround to do what you want.
    On 9i server add a connect string for your 10g instance. Then use 9i export utility to export 10g data. That way your export will be compatible with 9i. You can then import the data in your 9i instance.
    To create connect string you can either use Net Configuration Assistant or manually edit TNSNAMES.ORA file in your 9i server.
    Hope it helps.

  • Importing Statistics - Oracle 11g upgrade

    Hi,
    We are in the middle for planning for migration of oracle 9.2.0.8 database hosted in HP-UX to oracle 11gR2 to Linix. The database size is 1 TB ( 400GB of table data & 600GB of index data).
    Please let us know whether we can use the option of import/export the statistics from the Oraclr 9i to oradle 11g database. The database is highly OLTP/Batch. Will it be any Query performance problem due to the statistics import from oracle 9i to oracle 11g.
    Any suggestion are welcome and let me know if you need any more information.
    thanks,
    Mahesh

    Hello,
    Please let us know whether we can use the option of import/export the statistics from the Oraclr 9i to oradle 11g databaseIf I were you, when the data are imported to the 11g Database I would refresh the Statistics by using the dbms_stats Package.
    Then, you can test the most common queries on the new Database. If some perfomance troubles appear, you can use classical tools (Statspack, Explain Plan, TKPROF,...) or some useful tools you have in 11g as SQL Tuning Advisor or SQL Access Advisor :

  • Importing an oracle 8i database from Enterprise Version intot Oracle Lite

    How do i get to import an Oracle 8i Enterprise Server database into an Oracle 8i lite server.
    null

    I have never done this..but it ought to be simple....
    If you are only cocvern about the logical schema and the data in it..then I would simply export the database using export utility.
    let say if user snawaz who owns the schema on you enterprise server ..then just make sure you have a user snawaz on the lite oracle..
    also make sure user snawaz on both have enough priviledges to the database..
    then simply do an export:
    example:
    from enterprise database:
    exp snawaz/snawaz@sidname owner=snawaz
    this will export all the schema owned by snawaz, then take the export file to oracle lite...
    then do import
    imp snawaz/snawaz@sidname
    when it prompts for entire dmp file just say no and only import user and specify the user snawaz...
    it should work fine..
    If you need more comprehensive doc.let me kow

    The recommended way is to export the User Manager configuration template out (using the AdminUI), import it into your new enviroment (again using the AdminUI - you have to type the password of the LDAP user in since it is not exported) and then initiating an LDAP Synch.

  • Export from Oracle 9i to be Imported into Oracle 10g on 32bit platform

    Hi,
    Currently, I am in the process of performing a Homogenous system copy
    due to a domain change in our organization using R3load procedure.
    I have taken the export of the existing system which is on Oracle 9i.
    Initially, I was planning on setting up the new system on Oracle 9i,
    now that Oracle 9i is out of support, I would have to go with Oracle
    10g.
    I found a note on this topic, SAP Note: 932722, however, this note
    explicitly talks about database specific procedure of system copy and
    also this note is for 64 bit platform.
    Can you point me towards a Note or documentation which can be used as
    reference for importing an Oracle 9i export into Oracle 10g on 32bit
    platform(System copy procedure is R3load)?
    OS- Windows 2003 32bit, ECC 5.0
    Regards,
    Vishnu.

    Hi Gagan,
    Thanks for your response,
    As per your suggestion, I looked at the System Copy guide for Heterogeneous System Copy,
    On service.sap.com/osdbmigration under FAQ's this is what I found,
    I plan to copy my SAP system to a new hardware with the same OS and DB products but higher release levels. Is this a migration or a homogeneous system copy?
    A change of the version of the operation system and/or the database system is not relevant in the context of a migration or a homogeneous system copy. If you don't change the product, but only the release level it is a homogeneous system copy. If you change OS and/or DB, it is a migration.
    The system copy guide, doesn't explicitly talk about an export from Oracle 9i imported into Oracle 10g.
    Can you point me to a guide or Note?
    Regards,
    Vishnu

  • Item import to oracle inventory from legacy system

    Hi,
    We have a requirement where we need to import a very large number of items (close to 500,000) from a legacy system to oracle inventory.
    We are using oracle open interface for this. We have designed a temp table for this purpose in order to validate data before moving it to the oracle interface tables. The data to be migrated is present in a separate data base and we need to move this data to Oracle temp table.
    Can we use DB link to migrate this kind of data(in terms of volume)? Also what are the best practices that need to be followed while importing data to Oracle inventory? Is there any other way that this can be done?
    Please share your thoughts and suggestions on this
    Thanks
    AM

    Hi,
    Some times DB link will fail, Please create custom package and try to interface with legacy system for periodically fetching the data into your tables. If the data is bulk please use API instead of Interface tables.
    Thanks.

  • Error while table Import from Oracle (OBIEE server 64bit & Client 32bit)

    Hi All,
    Problem : ODBC/OCI Connectivity Issue between OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 (64-bit) server and OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 Client (32-bit) local machine.
    We have an OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1(64-bit) setup on a 64-bit ‘Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise’ machine.
    OBIEE dev team members have 32-bit local machines.
    OBIEE “Admin team member” (who will work on RPD) has OBIEE 11g client (BP1) installed on their *32-bit local machine*(which is common client software for 32/64 bit.)
    Now, two ODBC connections were created on this 32-bit local Client machine, with OBIEE 11g client installed on it.
    One with “BI server driver” for connection to OBIEE server machine(64-bit) to open RPD and other with “Oracle database driver” to connect to the Oracle database on 64-bit machine, to import tables.
    With this setup done, I am able to open the RPD in online mode and view the existing sampleapp related objects present in it.
    But when I try to import metadata from OBIEE client admin tool using OCI or ODBC, it gives an error that “Connection fails! “
    I have the required tns entry in my tnsnames.ora file and I am able to connect to this database from the local client machine, using sqlplus.
    Kindly let me know if there are any restrictions in using this type of a setup combination of 32-bit and 64-bit machines for OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 setup.
    If not then, what steps are to be followed to do the setup btw 64-bit OBIEE server and 32-bit OBIEE client to make table import working.

    Hi Veeravalli.. Thanks for your response.
    I have my tns file residing in both the location you mentioned on the server machine. (64-bit)
    •     {Oracle_BI1}\network\admin directory
    •     {oracle_common}\network\admin directory
    And also in the below Oracle_home path of oracle_client in the local machine. (32-bit, Oracle 11g R2 database client)
    •     {oracle_Home}\product\11.2.0\client_1\network\admin
    Also, I have used the full expanded tnsnames as you mentioned. Still issue persists.
    When I use , “DataDirect 6.0 ODBC Oracle Wire Protocol” driver, for creating the system DSN and try to import tables from OBIEE client admin tool on local client machine, the connection happens and table list comes up, but it’s an SAP product and hence it throws a msg to purchase the tool to go further with table import.
    I am wondering if I any other configuration steps need to be carried out, with the ODBC/OCI set up between 64-bit OBIEE server and 32-bit OBIEE client.
    Also, the source database that I am trying to connect to is yet again on a 64-bit machine(Oracle 11g R2).
    Please suggest.

    import server uses AL32UTF8 character set (possible charset conversion)the errors you recived and the above info suggests that you are going through very common situation which usually manifests in this way when importing
    data which originated from the database that have single byte characer set and is trying to be imported in the database that has multi-byte character set.
    There are several general suggestions for resolving this, currently i can think of the one that is saying to resize a column to a higher value for the table which is causing import to fail.
    There are several notes about this at metalink and some good to know informations at [tahiti.oracle.com|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14225/ch11charsetmig.htm#i1005993]

  • Data export and import between Oracle 9 and 10

    Hi all,
    I have been working with this for weeks. Reading posts and oracle doc. Finally, bugs block my way. Hope you can help me out. Many Thanks.
    Situation: I need to export data of one table from Oracle 10.2.0.1 to Oracle 9.2.0.8
    Background: Oracle 10.2.0.1 at Machine 1(IBM AIX), Oracle 9.2.0.8 at Machine 2(don't know, maybe Stratus), My local Machine(XP)
    Method 1: using SQL developer (MWB)
    Bug: there is CLOB field in the target table. All content of CLOB field become "(CLOB)" and data lost. This is a logged bug.
    Solution: give up using SQL developer
    Method 2: using Oracle 10 client exp & imp and remote from my local machine XP
    Bug: PLS-00302-SET_NO_OUTLINES must be declared
    Solution: using Oracle 9 client
    Method 3: using Oracle 9.2.0.1 client, since my local machine is XP
    Bug: EXP-00003: no storage definition found for segment (target DB run Oracle 9.2.0.8)
    Solution: using Oracle 9.2.0.8 client
    Problem: Oracle 9.2.0.8 client is for Stratus x86 only? I have no idea what Stratus is except believing it is a server machine.
    My senior told me to use sqlldr. But I just used it once for 3rd party DB for import. Can sqlldr export data?

    Hi OrionNet,
    Thank you very much for your helping and my problem solved. Here is my version of spool setting modifying from OrionNet example.
    set echo off
    set newpage 0
    set space 0
    set pagesize 0
    set long 2000000 //this is for CLOB, set it enough large to avoid missing data
    set feed off
    set head off
    set trimout on
    set trimspool on
    spool C:\spool.dat
    SELECT col1||'<EOFD>'||col2||'<EOFD>'||col3||'<EORD>' //this is separator for sqlldr
    FROM tab1
    WHERE col2 = 'XYZ';
    spool off
    and control file for sqlldr
    load data
    infile 'spool.dat' "str '<EORD>'" //ROW separator
    append
    into table tab1
    fields terminated by '<EOFD>' //FIELD separator
    trailing nullcols
    col1,
    col2,
    col3
    I think that using spool and sqlldr is the most "painless" method for Oracle 10g to 9i data move unless you are DBA of both DBs.
    Please share If anyone have easier/safer method. I am just crazy to migrate backward Oracle version.
    Thanks again,

  • Oracle 11g- Straing behaviour of query after importing from Oracle 10g

    Hi,
    I have a table in Oracle 10g as follows:
    Create Table xyz (col1 varchar2(50), col2 varchar2(50));
    With following Data
    Col1     Col2
    A     320
    A     110
    A     290
    A     380
    B     ABC
    B     256
    B     LMN
    I am running following Query
    select * from xyz
    Where Col1='A' and Col2=110
    It works fine. But when I export this table and import it in Oracle 11g. It says invlid identifier.
    But if I enclose 110 in single quotes. It works fine.
    Also If I recreate this table in Oracle 11g like
    Create table xyz1
    as select * from xyz;
    Now alos I am able to run this query smoothly.
    select * from xyz1
    Where Col1='A' and Col2=110
    What is wrong exporting this table from 10g to 11g.
    Any comments/suggestion??
    Aarbi

    The check in your where clause
    Col2=110Is comparing a string (Col2 is defined as a VARCHAR) with a numeric literal, so there will be an implicit conversion taking place from character to number. The query then fails due to the B LMN row when 'LMN' fails number conversion.
    I'm guessing there was there an index on the table in your 10g installation which would allow the query to be satisfied without checking the B ABC or B LMN rows but is not present or not used in the 11g installation so a full table scan results in an attempt to convert 'ABC' and 'LMN' to a number. Check the explain plans.
    Or it could even just be a difference in the order in which the two conditions in the where clause are evaulated between the two versions.
    The solution, as you have already found is to do a string comparision
