How do we import a database that does nto exist in the machine. The problem arises when we give (e.g)
imp file=name.dmp

It asks for a password. Since we dont know that(Its a production system) we are not able to set a development system here.what are the steps we have take.

Thanks in advance

Hi Mahesh,

Thanks for your reply. The situation is like this there is a database X on machine A
Iam not aware of the userid used for exporting the database.

Now this database X needs to be put in machine B.

Please tell me a procedure for doing this.

Assume that machine B has no X put in it previously.

Thanks in Advance

a database has to already be on machine B in order to import. import will only create objects in the database, it will not create the database. and you need to have a userid to import into the database because you are connecting to the database.
