Import a Oracle DMP file into a Fresh install of oracle
A client sent us an Oracle database we need to test against. We don't use Oracle or have any in-house Oracle expertise.
We need to setup the database so we can connect to it and debug a problem.
I did a fresh install of Oracle 9 (the version the client is running) and the management tools.
For the life of me, I cannot get it to import the data. It should not be this complicated. I must be getting something wrong.
I've tried:
imp 'sys/password AS SYSDBA' file=c:\database.dmp full=yes log=implog.txtand got:
Connected to: Personal Oracle9i Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production With the Partitioning, OLAP and Oracle Data Mining options JServer Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production Export file created by EXPORT:V09.02.00 via conventional path Warning: the objects were exported by SYSTEM, not by you import done in WE8MSWIN1252 character set and AL16UTF16 NCHAR character set . importing SYSTEM's objects into SYS . importing ABCDE's objects into ABCDE IMP-00003: ORACLE error 1435 encountered ORA-01435: user does not exist Import terminated successfully with warnings.But nothing shows up in the manager as far as tables in any schema and I'm at my wits end.
You'll need to create a user (or Schema) first
C:\>sqlplus system/password SQL> create user CLIENT_TEST identified by client_test_password; SQL> grant connect, unlimited tablespace, resource to CLIENT_TEST; SQL> exitThen you can use the
fromuser=andtouser=IMP switches to import the data into the new user/schema:C:\>imp system/password FROMUSER=ABCDE TOUSER=client_test file=c:\database.dmp full=yesHope that helps!
ORA-65096: invalid common user or role name
It is not common to create tables as SYS or SYSTEM in Oracle, as those two accounts are administrators.
Error means that your client created tables as user
ABCDE.You should create that user before import, then you should import data as that user,
This should eliminate the error because exported file contains permissions and other informations related to user
ABCDEthat does not exist in database.Check this question for additional hints: How to determine the Schemas inside an Oracle Data Pump Export file.
You first need to create user "ABCDE"
Something like
In SQL*PLUS:
create user ABCDE identified by password; grant connect, resource to ABCDE;There's a squillion options on "create user" but this would use the defaults.
Did the client provide the details of how they generated the dump file? In particular, are you certain that this is a full export rather than a schema-level export, a tablespace-level export, or a table-level export?
I have a related question. Are you willing to comment on it? Here is the link: http://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/130515/how-do-i-import-data-into-oracle-11g-r2-using-a-dmp-file-and-a-par-file
Rather than 'sys/password AS SYSDBA', try 'system/password'.
Oracle's tool requires the same user to import as created the export even though sys is the "all powerful" user.
Warning was given regarding that the data that you are importing was actually exported by SYS user as .dmo file. Try this..
C:\oracle\ora92\bin>imp sys/[email protected] file=c:\database.dmp full=yesdbname is the database name that you have provided
c:\\ imp database name/[email protected] file=xyz,dmp grants=n ignore=y fromuser=database name touser=database nameYou should clarify your answer by explaining how this works, what the parameters are, *anything* really beyond just a command-line.

Thanks, exact problem here. Got an oracle dump and we have to import. Extremely counterintuitive compared to, well, virtually any other database system
