Well (this method does use Oracle, sorry) if you want a list of the create statements for all the objects in the .dmp file you can use the following command;

imp userid=<a_dba_user>/<passwd> file=<the dump file> full=y indexfile=cr_objects.sql

this will give you a file called cr_objects.sql with all the creates in it.

It performs no operations on the database itself.
