Problem With Imp/Exp

Question

I have exported a database schema containing spatial data using exp and Imported it into a new database using imp. It seems to be dropping rows from the user_sdo_geom_metadata table in the new database.
Has anyone else seen this problem and is there a solution to the problem?

Answer 1

Oracle Spatial will only carry rows from the user_sdo_geom_metadata view for tables that have spatial indexes. You could choose to export the contents of the view by doing something like this:
create table my_sdo_geom_metadata as select * from user_sdo_geom_metadata;Export the my_sdo_geom_metadata table, then after the import
insert into user_sdo_geom_metadata
  (select *
   from my_sdo_geom_metadata
   where table_name not in
      (select table_name from user_sdo_geom_metadata);
