Hi guys. something simple but amazingly i cannot find the formula. This is so easy for every other database but i cannot copy a database from one machine to another using oacle 9i. The both machines are installed with the same version i.e. oracle 9i. I have a database witha few tables in one machine at work, with a few tuples of data and I want to transport that same database to home, both the schema and the data. How do I do that in oracle? Cause i have beeen searching on the internet all day and nothing works. Somebody help, and I'm a newbie to oracle, please give me something that I could understand. This is so easy in Mysql and access, how is it that difficult in oracle? Somebody help me please, I don't want to get fired.

Jennifer.

Hi,
U can use the Following Steps for Exporting Data From one machine.

Open a Command Prompt then Enter the <Oracle Home Directroy>/bin
Write the Following Line
EXP userName/Password@ConnectingString
where ConnectingString is your TNS name.
Then a Input Screen appear by asking that
Enter array fetch buffer size: 4096 >
Simply press Enter Key.
next
Export file: EXPDAT.DMP >
Here you put the Export File Name like
Export file: EXPDAT.DMP >C:\expdata.dmp
Next asked is What do u want to export. You need to Export User
So simply press Enter
(1)E(ntire database), (2)U(sers), or (3)T(ables): (2)U >

Export grants (yes/no): yes >

Export table data (yes/no): yes >

Compress extents (yes/no): yes >

Export done in WE8MSWIN1252 character set and AL16UTF16 NCHAR character set

About to export specified users ...
User to be exported: (RETURN to quit) >

Now here give the User Name like

User to be exported: (RETURN to quit) >scott

After that your Export will start.

Now copy the .dmp file and import it into another machine on the same user which u exported.

IMP userName/Password@ConnectingString

Export file: EXPDAT.DMP >c:\expdata.dmp
Enter insert buffer size (minimum is 8192) 30720>

Export file created by EXPORT:V10.01.00 via conventional path
import done in WE8MSWIN1252 character set and AL16UTF16 NCHAR character set
List contents of import file only (yes/no): no >yes
Import entire export file (yes/no): no > yes
Then your export file will be imported on the other database.

Ok I have a question. This probably might be a stupid question but keep in mind I am a newbie with Oracle.

EXP userName/Password@ConnectingString

You said the ConnectingString is a TNS name. What is that and how do I find out what is my TNS name. I just accepted all the defaults.

My username is: system
password is: useruser
service: oracle

Don't bother to reply to my last question, I figured it out, the TNS is the global DBase name. Now thank you for the detailed steps, it was quite clear, I understood it, however one problem, I followed exactly what you detailed. I got the .dmp file to export. When I went to the other machine, I create a user with the same username and password that I had on the original machine,

username - tstt
password - tstt

It seemed that everything worked fine except that when it was finished and I went back and did select table_name from user_tables; I got no rows, which implied to me that it was not created. Here is a listing of the export:

>>Don't bother to reply to my last question, I figured it out, the TNS is the global DBase name.
You sure?
it can be anything you want. Here mydb1 is the TNS. You can call it whatever you want. mydb2/myddb3? You can find those entries in tnsnames.ora

mydb1 =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = xxxx)(PORT = 1521))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = mutation)
    )
  )

Your current issue is a consequence of
>>List contents of import file only (yes/no): no > yes
which is effectively equivalent of SHOW=Y.

Did you even go through the faq link that was posted?

I got it to work.

One question, I thought that the tns global name was the Database global name or the username that was created. YOu said it could be found in the tnsnames.ora.

How could I find this tnsnames.ora?
