RE: Missing DDL?

Sean,

Another option would be:

Get yourself a copy of strings from
http://www.sysinternals.com/misc.htm#Strings (a very useful site for NT utilities that should have been in NT!).

Do the export (someone else suggested a full export is required) Then do a

        strings -a export_file.dmp | find "create tables" /i > create_tblspcs.sql

And create_tblspcs.sql will contain the create tablespace commands.

Sean,

Importing with INDEXFILE will show TABLE create statements as well as INDEX create statements but will not show TABLESPACE create statements.

To get the tablespace create statements (this will not be a pretty output file!):

imp userid=<userid/password> file=<file> log=show.log show=y rows=n

    full=y

this will generate a file called show.log that will contain ALL DDL statements for that database. At the beginning of the file, you should see the create tablespace commands.

You will need to edit these commands to make them runnable, Oracle chops the

line off at (I think) 80 characters and then wraps to the next line. Everything will be enclosed in double quotes as well.
