hi all,
i had exported a schema with around 400 tables from a production database yesterday. Today, I am importing the same into a new (test) database server. And when i do that, everything goes fine except that, at a point it stops and don't go any further at all. The table where it stops has got around 2,00,000 thousand records. Could anybody tell me how I can find out why it is not moving any further from that table, as it is not coming up with any error message and is also not logged into bdump file.

This is the import line:
imp user/pword file='path' full=y log=logfileloc;

I am on 9i, 2000 XP Pro and I am using Oracle Import/Export utility.

Thank you for support in advance.

If I read it correctly, "2,00,000 thousand records" is 200,000,000 records (two hundred million records). It will take some time to import, that's not a piece of cake.

Sorry, That was 200 thousand records.
But it's not normal to wait for more than an hour. I guess there is some wait event going on in the background. I just can't make it what it would be. Please suggest.

Set feedback = 1000 on the command line with the import command and this will show you the progression of the import. What type of datatypes are in the "slow" table being imported?

Hi all,
The issue was like this:
The db I was importing into had insuffcient number of redo log files. So while importing, all the redo log files would get filled before they would be archived. So the lgwr would be waiting for a log file to clean up. I added few more redo log file groups. It went fine in the next import.
Thank you all for all your advices.
