Sir,
We are able to export many tables in a single dmp file. How to see what are the tables available in the dmp file. The problem is that relevant data is available in one of the dmp files which are taken as backup. I am using Oracle 8i running on Unixware. Using Strings command i am able to view the contents. It is highly impropable to go through the entire contents. Is there any way out. Kindly help me. If you have solution for this in Oracle 9i running on LINUX or on WINDOWS is also welcome.
advance thanks,
with regards,
Aranga

Hi,
You can use the show option available in import utility.
This will list the objects in the dump file without actually importing them
SHOW
Default: n
When SHOW=y, the contents of the export file are listed to the display and not imported. The SQL statements contained in the export are displayed in the order in which Import will execute them.
The SHOW parameter can be used only with the FULL=y, FROMUSER, TOUSER, or TABLES parameter
