data pump import order - causing constraint violation [message #482883]

Hello

We are trying to import data into existing tables in a schema using data pump

However the foreign key tables are being imported first and then the master table data thus violating the constraints

Apparently it seems larger tables are being imported first regardless of referential integrity constraints thus causing constraint violation (contrary to my understanding)

Is it a normal behaviour during data pump import?

Is there any workaround for this?

Is it possible that the keys being sequence generated are causing this?

As I understand import will commit after each table
In that case can we defer commit at all at the expense of large undo, set constraints to deferrable and try the import?

Please advice

Regards,
Ps

impdp the Parent tables first.

sorry to interrupt

BlackSwan- do you mean data pump does not take care of the integrity implicitly and 'ps' will need import each table individually like following?

impdp parent1
impdp child1
impdp parent2
impdp child2
or
impdp parent1
impdp parent2
impdp child1
impdp child2

Does the sequence of tables in parfile will have any effect?

It depends.
If doing a schema import into an EMPTY schema, then utility takes care of integrity implicitly.
It does so by enabling CONSTRAINTs after data is loaded.
When importing into exist schema, user must work with or around existing CONSTRAINTs.
