Actually, if you care to export a very small table( to make it easier) you can look at the .dmp file with any editor. Once in a while, more for fun than any practical purpose or to save time, I went into it and could change something like the tablespace_name or such thing before IMPorting. Of course you need vi or edt or eve to do this. IMPort is very picky about extraneous stuff in the .dmp file.

Nothing to it.
