hi guys,
today we had got a dump file from the client for importing two tables in the database containing somwhere more than 1 million records in each. When i invoked imp utility on the database , i am getting the error : *IMP-00037 : Character set marker unknown* os & db info:
Windows 2000 Adv. Server
Db : Oracle 9i rel 2 (9.2.0.6 <http://9.2.0.6> target 9.2.0.4<http://9.2.0.4>source)
Character set : Export done in US7ASCII character set and AL16UTF16 NCHAR character set -- source
server uses WE8ISO8859P1 character set -- target I tried on metalink and they say might be dump file corrupted but client says they can import from the same dump file without error. Any Idea??????????????
