RE: Export/Import question

Create all tablespaces(same name as in the source database) before you import.

I have a question about how the export/import utility works. My situation is that damagement had me put my live and test environments on the same server. Now they realize that this is not a good situation(test has crashed the server a few times and required a re-boot, imagine that). I have Oracle 8.1.7 running on Windoze NT 4.0. I have to move my live database to another server. From reading the fine manuals and from posts that I have seen I have decided to use the export/import utility to make my move. My database is inactive for the weekend. What I am not sure of is this, on my current live database my datafiles(.dbf) reside on drive E. The server I am moving to has a drive F that will be for my data. I have done the export using this command;

EXP MY_NAME/MY_PASSWORD FILE=C:\MY_DUMP.DMP FULL=Y COMPRESS=Y The export ran with no errors or warnings. Now, since my datafiles reside on drive e will the import then be looking for drive e to place the data in. I do not see any option to specify where I want the data to go. Or if I run the import from the f drive of the destination server will the import utility place the data in drive F.

Thanks,

Dave
