Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> exporting MDSYS schema from an Oracle Apps 11i database?
My commander-in-chief has told me that he wants a second copy of a sample Oracle Apps 11i database for use by developpers. "Aye-aye sir" I answered smartly and went on the hunt for an Oracle Apps 11i database that I got copy over. (One person told me "oh yeah, I have an OraApps 11i database here that you can copy, no one's touched it since it was created." I can believe no one has touched it, it won't come up since half the datafiles are missing!?!?!)
Anyhoo, I found one on another platform (since it's a different OS I can't just clone the database by copying over the datafiles) so I decide to use export/import. But I can't export the MDSYS schema. Why is that?
I know that there is an MDSYS schema (see results of SQL below) but export says
What am I doing wrong and what is this MDSYS schema anyway? Is it a standard schema in an Oracle Apps 11i database? It looks to me like it has objects pertaining to the Oracle 8i Spatial functions/procedures but I've never installed Oracle 8i Spatial so I can't tell for sure.
SQL> run
1 select a.user_id, b.object_type, count (*) 2 from dba_users a, dba_objects b 3 where a.username = 'MDSYS' 4 and b.owner = a.username 5* group by a.user_id, b.object_type
USER_ID OBJECT_TYPE COUNT(*)
