Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Skipping a table on import
Craig,
Assuming you don't need the tables that you don't want to import the best
option is to not export the tables by using a parameter file.
(This speeds up the export, reduces the size of the dmp file, saves the
backup/ftp time to copy the file to the target system and saves reading
through the dmp file until it passes data it is not interested in)
Next best bet is to use a parameter file on the import.
A solution for you could be to create the 'not wanted' tables (just create but no data in them) on the target database and put an ignore = N line in the import parameter file / interactive command The import would then go through the import file creating and populating all the tables until he gets to the ones you don't want and then it will throw an error message saying 'table already exists' and move onto the next table in the import.

Hi,
I'm trying to import the live schema into a test schema, but 1 or 2
tables have a lot of data and it's taking hours. Is there a way to skip
certain tables during an import?
We're using 8.1.7
We have 400 tables, so I'd like to avoid having to list all the tables
in the export statement.
I have to pre-create the tables to put them in the correct tablespace,
so could I alter the table definitions to force import to skip
particular ones?
Any help is appreciated.
