We're are going to reinstall our oracle installation on another machine and want to backup our current database using exp using a full/complete export. Then we plan to restore the datbase using a full import with imp. The question I have is does the full imp needs to have an empty database created before it can be imported? Or will it create the database files and log files etc.

If imp needs a database to import the data to. Does the database files and log files have to be the same size as the orginal database or can it be different?
What happens to the system files created on the new database? Will the imp command destroy them and in the process create database conflitcs? Received on Tue Jan 16 1996 - 00:00:00 CET
