Hello gurus,

Can anyone please let me know how to do the below task?

I have a dump file that contains the entire tables, procedures, sequences, etc of one instance of database.

I need to take only the tables from the dump file and import into another instance of database.

If I need to take one table, I will use the statement as:

imp scott/tiger file=expdat.dmp table=emp log=test.log

But for importing all the tables(only tables)from the dump file to another instance of database, what is the command that I need to run on UNIX?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Use TABLES parameter with your import files.
and create .SQL file for TABLES parameter

Taj,

Sorry, I could not able to get your point.

What value should I use in imp command for TABLES parameter?
imp scott/tiger file=expdat.dmp tables=<what value>

Also, How to create a .SQL file using that dump file?

Can you please tell me in detail about how to do it.

I am new to the database concepts so could not able to get your point.

Hi,
Tables = if you know tables name put in tables parameter like
IMP SCOTT/TIGER@ORCL FILE=C:\SCOTT.DMP TABLES=(EMP,DEPT,BONUS)

OR
CREATE INDEXFILE ( .SQL) OR RUN
SQL> host imp oe/oe@orcl file=oe.dmp indexfile=c:\dummy.sql indexes=n constraint
s=n grants=n  full=y


it is DUMMY import actually it is not import anything in database.
but it create .sql file specify by INDEXFILE paramter location.

just edit "delete REM" and run on SQL prompt.

try let me know if any issue.

regards
Taj
