Hi,

I have exported database into a dump file ,the exported database was using the system table space.

Now i am trying to import database from the above dump file into the new user which has default table space specified, but its the import is happening in system table space rather then the default tablespace.

On the command prompt command i am running this command to import:

imp user/password@netservicename file=filename fromuser=x1 touser=xyz ignore=y

thanks and regards,

vishnu

wierd~.
try this.
you may have granted the target user RESOURCE role which will allow him to write to any tablespace ( unlimited quota).
REVOKE RESOURCE ROLE from target user.
allocate quotas ON THE DEFUALT TABLESPACE ONLY to target user.
now try import again.
theoritcally, since the user has no quota on any tablespace excpet his defualt, the objects shoule get imported into the default tablespace or error out.
note that by revoking resource role, certain privs like create trigger will also be revoked. so grant them explicitly again.

well this is not wierd.
the objects already exist in system tablespace.
since the user has resource role in both source and target databases, he can write to system tablespace.~!

The user doing the import may have had 'resource' which give quota unlimited to all tablespaces (as mentioned by Mahesh)

Best bet would be to give the user 'connect' and 'resource'. Then revoke the 'unlimited tablespace'

create user user_a
default tablespace ts_a
temporary tablespace temp
quota unlimited on ts_a
quota unlimited on temp;

grant resource to user_a;
grant connect to user_a;
revoke unlimited tablespace from user_a;

NOTE: To make sure that user_a DOES NOT have any access to SYSTEM tablespace, create a table in that tablespace. If you get an error, you do not have any access.

This way you are making sure that no objects go to tablespace SYSTEM.
