Re: How to open a *.dmp

Hello,
first: thanks a lot for these answers.
I see: I have to learn a lot about oracle.

There is0 one (or two) last question(s): Is it possible to import a dump from an older version of oracle or has the version to be exactly the same????
I'm asking because i only can download the newest versions of oracle out of the internet.

Are there other and perhaps more comfortable ways to transfer an oracle-DB from one PC to another???
