Hi All -

Please excuse what is, no doubt, a stupid question - I'm having to act as DBA for the time being...

I need to exp a database from one server and imp it on another. The originating server hase 2 Oracle instances running on it, each hosting one database. When I run exp, I am required to enter a username and password (+ other info) but at no point is the instance or database required - nor are they commandline options. The same is the case for imp.

The exp completes successfully, but what database have I exported? Both instances have the same username and password.

Thanks
