Hi!

I have an export file from an oracle database and I want to import it to my oracle database. The following problem I have:

[Quoted] my db was installed with charset we8iso8859p1, so I thought it was possible to create a second instance with the correct charset of the export file to import it to this second instance.

[Quoted] my question: is this possible? And how do I tell imp to use the second instance and not the first one?

[Quoted] I tried to shut down my first instance and leave the second open, imp said oracle is not available.

[Quoted] Must the SID be the same as in the original database?
