Louis,

Daniel knows very well what he's talking about, and sadly enough many people drop by with a "one-off" question without reading the documentation first.

Well, I did what Daniel suggested, i.e. I checked the documentation. Just in case you didn't know, the relevant document is titled Utilities.

And in the parameters section of imp there is at least one parameter that you didn't try or did not document in your post but from the description is exactly what you need, which makes me think that in deed you didn't read the documentation. So what you do is not sharing specific knowledge but demonstrate pure laziness.

You know, people normally put data into a database because they find that data valuable. So it should be treated with respect by everyone. If you for what ever reason you think you cannot test what you describe (and given that oracle provides the database software for free to download there is no justification) you don't show respect for your data.

This is a Very Bad Thing (TM).

And as far as I'm concerned, this thread is over.
