RE: exporting MDSYS schema from an Oracle Apps 11i database?

MDSYS and the others were created automatically when I created a 8.1.7 rel 3 database on NT 4.0 sp6a. The user MDsys ownes the tables: CS_SRS,
MD$ (various)
OGIS_GEOMERTY_COLUMNS,
OGIS_SPATIAL_REFERENCE_SYSTEMS,
SDO_GEOM_METADATA_TABLE,
SDO_INDEX_METADATA_TABLE,
USER_CS_SYS I have not done any thing with the features offered from the load, I created the database for the developers to get familiar with the 8i features and I have to get use to the database when I get a chance.

HTH in your quest for info.

Somewhere in the rdbms stuff (I can't remember where anymore) there should be a script to create MDSYS and ORDSYS. These should be used instead of exp/imp.

FYI to the list: I found out why the export was unsuccessful. In "catexp.sql" I see the following condition: "u$.name not in ('ORDSYS', 'MDSYS', 'CTXSYS', 'ORDPLUGINS')"

Does anyone know if MDSYS is in fact the Oracle 8i Spatial functions user and/or how I could create that user and its objects in an Oracle 8i database (said database being created to server as an Oracle Apps 11i repository)?
