Oracle dump file format

My client gave a dmp file exported by emp. Export environment is Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.5.0 - 64bit Production. Redhat 5.5.
However, when I try to import it under win7. Imp.exe throws those erros.
IMP-00010: not a valid export file, header failed verification
IMP-00000: Import terminated unsuccessfully
I checked the first line of dump file under notepad++. It is not something like TEXPORT:V10.02.01. But totally unreadable characters.
Can I judge the dump file is corrupted by the first line is not something like TEXPORT?

zlf

There could be problem in regard to how the dump file was copied, for instance converted as text vs. binary. However closing this thread and posting the question in the database export/import forum at Export/Import/SQL Loader & External Tables might be the best idea.

I want to extract data from oracle dump file (.dmp) using oracle database or any other tools.

This isn't a SQLDeveloper question. You will get better answers in the Database - General forum.
Oracle dump files produced by the exp or expdp utilities are inproprietary formats which can only be read by the imp or impdp utilities respectively.
The best way to get data out of a dump file is to import it into a database and then extract it to plain text files using SQL.
Alternatively, leave it in the database and your application can access it there.
The exp dump file is mostly plain text, but the format is not published so you could waste a lot of time figuring it out.

Hi,
EdStevens
Actually I was using SQL Developer. Sorry for the wrong define question. Now the real problem is:
I want to read or extract data in a txt file from Oracle Dump (.dmp) file without using Oracle sqlPlus or Oracle Database.
No need to say that i am able to extract dump data using sqlPlus. But for that, there is a little burden to install oracle database
or sql Developer.
I also listen about Oracle Loader a little bit. Is it a tool for providing extraction of data from Oracle dump file.
Thanks for your previous reply,
And now waiting for your suggestion.
thanks,
mohan

Query on oracle dump file

Hi All ,
I have a question on Oracle Dump file . Is there a way to know how many objects got exported into the dump file during expdp . How do we know what are the objects which got exported and which dint get exported during a full export of a DB .
Thanks.

Hi All ,
I guess i wasnt more elaborate ...
yeah i understand that log file will give me details of objects exported . log files gives me the list of tables exported , but objects index, procedures, packages , synonyms , views are all done in a group , it just says exported indexes , it will not show me which indexes got exported right ? ... SO i want to know about each and every object which got exported .
I hope i m clear now .

Compress large oracle dump file

Hi all,
I need to bring a large export dump file across the network which takes very long time. Is there any way with in Oracle 10g that I can compress this large dump files.
Thanks in Advance.

You can use any compress tools to zip your dump file. gzip, bzip etc.
Oracle dump file usually yield pretty good compress ratio. most time close to 90%

Oracle dump file

Hi all,
I have tried do a full export in oracle 10g2 in server A then follow by a full import do another 10g2 in server B successfully.
But when i insert a row the10g2 server A and do a full export, follow by bringing the dump file to the database in server B and do full import again using the dump file. I found out that the row inserted does not reflect in the database in server B. Is there any way i can do so that the inserted row can be reflected in serverB?
imp username/password file=dump.dmp full=y log=import.log
Thanks
cheng

thanks hemant,
ignore=y will ignore the prensence of the table. I tried it out, apprantly it run slowly than i do the inital full import.
Other than ignore=y, is there other way of append the data?
Regarding this: To be safe you could either
a. TRUNCATE all the tables in the target "B" database
OR
b. DROP all the tables in the target "B" database (or drop the whole schema)
before you begin the import.
Sorry i quite new to Oracle database.
b.) there a command to drop the whole schema? so that i can do a full import.
a.) Honestly, i also do not know what is truncate, maybe i can go find out from google.
Regarding this: NOTE : Since you are copying specific schemas, you don't need to be using the FULL=Y option but OWNER= in the Export and, optionally, FROMUSER=, TOUSER= in the Import.
So instead of of a full export/import. i should do sth like this.
exp username/password file=dump.dmp log=export.log owner=username
imp username/password file=dump.dmp log=import.log fromuser=username, touser=username
eventhough the username is the same for both the database?

Error while importing dump file to Oracle server

Hi All,
I'm pretty new to Oracle and I need to do the following job:
- import data from dump file to Oracle server
- then export it into CSV format to load to our web system
Oracle dump file is called EXPDAT.DMP and it is placed in the default location, so no need to specify it. Here I'm trying to do the 1st step:
impdp SYSTEM/XXXXXX REMAP_SCHEMA=DATA01:SYSTEM
And then I'm getting the following errors:
Connected to: Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
Master table "SYSTEM"."SYS_IMPORT_FULL_01" successfully loaded/unloaded
Starting "SYSTEM"."SYS_IMPORT_FULL_01": SYSTEM/******** REMAP_SCHEMA=DATA01:SYSTEM
Processing object type TABLE_EXPORT/TABLE/TABLE
ORA-39083: Object type TABLE failed to create with error:
ORA-00959: tablespace 'K_DATA' does not exist
But tablespace 'K_DATA' exists in Oracle database (I've created it manually). What does it mean? Is it a permission issue? Or may be there is more simple way to accomplish my task? Please help me! Thank you!

Create the user DATA01 in your database, with sufficient quota on tablespace K_DATA. DO NOT import another schema's objects into SYSTEM. If you must REMAP_SCHEMA to something other than DATA01, create a user other than SYSTEM to receive it.

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.

Data Import from Oracle Dump to SQL Server(2000/2005)

Hi Friends,
I'm using Oracle 10g.
I've a scenario.
I've Oracle Dump file. Now i would like import in SQL Server(2000/2005).
Can any one suggest me how to do this?
Any idea,clue will be highly appreciated.

I think you will need to import the data into SQL Server from an ASCII flat file using SQL Server DTS if avialable. You can use SQL Plus to extract the data outof Oracle into comma delimited flat files and then use SQL Server DTS load into the SQL Server database.

Import Oracle Database File Error

Hi Experts,
I got an oracle dump file somefile.dmp today. i dont have any details regarding the dump file but the size is nearly 1.5GB.
I just thought to import that file to my existing Database in local server, the local oracle server details are
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 - Production

- Is the file FTP transferred? Then the possibility is that you used ASCII as transfer mode where BINARY is needed
What i need to do then?.. I need to ask a new dump file with BINARY transfer mode ?Yes.

What should i do with an Oracle 11g Database, MySQL database and a dump file.

I just joining to a new work field, almost about a database and i know "NOTHING" about this field.
My company has a system that running by Oracle Database, the problem is that Oracle Database will cost a lot of money when my company expands.
So the quest is converting Oracle Database to MySQL database.
Of course i cant try to convert it in the main Database, so i create one Oracle 11g Database on my LocalHost, and it already actived in " Localhost:1158 " etc.
I have another Sever test that already set up MySQL database, and a dump file from the system.
So I want to ask these 2 questions :
1. How to create an new Oracle Database from that dump file ?
2. Is it alright if i use tool to convert Oracle Database into MySql, or i should do it manually ?
Thanks alot.

I predict that converting to MySQL will cost your company more as it expands. As you expand managing contention becomes more important - Oracle does this for you. I do not think MySQL does, so you'll have to write more code to deal with this, costing the company money. A big part of making application scalable and reliable is to use stored procedures, how good are MySQL's compared to PL/SQL's. What other features are there that MySQL has that will benefit your company that Oracle doesn't. What do you need to think about as your company expands that need to be taken care of in the database. I would have thought a migration from MySQL to Oracle would be more common to deal with expansion.
As you know "NOTHING" you need to think about what each database can give you for the next 10 years to cope with you businesses potential requirements, and extimate how much it will cost to implement these requirements, then make the decision

Problem in importing dump file in Oracle 10g

Hi all,
I have a database dump with size of 1.8 GB. One of the tables in dump (TABLEPHOTO) is around 1.5 GB and has a BLOB type column.
The import process stops (gets frozen) after importing 4294 rows of TABLEPHOTO.
I do not receive any error and when checking database resources in EM, do not see anything unususl.
The dump file can not be exported again since the schema is deleted!
Can anybody help with this issue?
Regards,
Amir

What does Oracle wait interface say when the session appears to be frozen ?
select sid,username,status,state,event,p1,p2 from v$session_wait where sid=<sid>;You may also want to use Tanel Poder's Snapper to see the session activity at that time:

Urgent issues indicate a live/production system is having problems and a company is losing money, or customers are being prevented from using it.
For urgent issues you should raise your issue with Oracle Support using your customer support identifier.
The community forums are for non-urgent issues. To suggest such issues are urgent is considered rude, as the people who help here are volunteers with their own jobs to do, so demanding their time for your "urgent" issue is not appropriate. It also suggests that you think your issue is more important than other people's issues, so you are being rude to those people too. Your issue is no more important than anyone elses.
In relation to your question, you need to provide more information.
Please read: Re: 2. How do I ask a question on the forums?
When you refer to "SQL Server" are you referring to the Microsoft SQL Server product, or are you just referring to a physical server with your oracle database on it?
