There is no "imported CSV5 files". There are only tablespace files. (Well, and redo log files, and control files, and initialization files,....). As Sybrand said, the .dmp file is *not* a database file, it is a collection of INSERT (and possibly CREATE and ALTER) statements.

If you delete the "imported CSV5 files" ... what files are you thinking of? You might want to spend some time in the Utilities manual (see tahiti.oracle.com) and the Concepts manual. Received on Mon Oct 23 2006 - 16:05:08 CDT
