Please look at this imp command

imp tpocs/******@tpocs file=c:\Latest_Reference_Files\pharm_jul_2003.dmp log= c:\Latest_Reference_Files\pharm_jul_2003.log fromuser=tpocs touser=tpocs tables=arc_ndc commit=y ignore=y buffer=8388608

Scenario:

I ran this command (as instructed by the tier III tech), got a couple of warnings but it did import 28K plus rows into arc_ndc. Before I ran the command at the command NT command level, I truncated arc_ndc via SQL*Plus.

After the command completed I rebooted the server, there was no direction to do this, I just did it for good measure figuring I would get a clean oracle instance going. When the server finished the reboot, oracle wasn't up -- or I should say the database wasn't opened. I had to open the database as SYSDBA.

Did the imp command close the database? I don't see any directive to do so, but being new maybe there is something I don't understand.

Thanks for your help and patience.
