How to copy the Oracle database structure to new server? [message #438362]

Hi,

I am using Oracle 9i on development server and want to copy the all database structure to the new oracle server.

Both server are using oracle 9i and window server.

On development server If i run following query then it brings 19 rows.
- select * from dba_data_files order by tablespace_name;

And this query returns 257 rows.
select * from sys.v_$parameter;

Is there a way to just copy a database structure (without data) to new server? instead of manually defining all parameters, storage space and etc?

Thanks

Database structure, in most cases means table structure and other objects.
Do you want to copy all objects without data?
You can export and import.

>>instead of manually defining all parameters, storage space and etc?
Not sure what you mean.
You can "logically" export and import just structure.
In target you need "some storage".

Hi,

Yes i like to copy all table structure and objects.

In Oracle development server there are 37 Schemas and there are total 1100 tables in those 37 schemas.

In new machine i haven't created anything apart from installing Oracle 9i.

So import and export would be a best option?

Is there anyway if i just copy all necessary files ( parameter file, Control file) from development server to new machine for copying database structure?

Thanks

That is what we call a "cold copy".
You shutdown the database and copy all related files physically.
With logical export/import, you copy just the data.
You precreate the database in target, precreate the tablespaces as in source, export whole database and import.
Please search this forum for cold copy/export and import.
