Hi,

Is there a way to know what kind of Backup (table/tablespace/full/schema) by looking
at export dump file ? If yes, can you tell me the command ?

I think not, except for using SHOW=Y (but this might be a very lengthy listing and I'm not sure you'd find out information you are looking for).

However: if you open a DMP file in a text editor (which is capable of opening rather large files; I wouldn't expect it to successfully open 30GB DMPs. I have problems opening a 250 MB file), at the beginning you'd see something like the following screenshot:

/forum/fa/9692/0/

As you can see, this *might* be what you are looking for. The first EXP.DMP really exported a few tables only, while SCOTT.DMP contains export of the whole SCOTT's schema (i.e. user).

Someone might know better, though.
