the article you sent me didn't mention where i should run this command
imp userid=system file=user_a.dmp log=imp.log fromuser=a touser=b

if the .dmp file is located in c:\
should i have file=c:\user_a.dmp ?
did I need to manually create a imp.log file?
how can I know the fromuser name?

thanks

hi,
say you have a database db1 installed on one pc and the other database db2 installed on another pc.
Now say you have a user "scott" in db1 and you want to export this user from db1 to db2.
The first step is to create a new user in db2 say xyz.

Now export the user scott from db1 by this method.
Open the command prompt and enter in c:
Now issue this command from the command prompt

c:\>exp system/manager file=scott.dmp owner=scott

where system/manager is the administrator in your db1.

Now after the export completes, you can see the file scott.dmp in your c:

Now copy this file to other computer's c: where you have your db2 installed.

I assume that you have already created the user named xyz (or whatever you want) on your new machine.

Now Open the command prompt from this machine and issue the following command:

c:\>imp system/manager file=scott.dmp fromuser=scott touser=xyz

here system/manager is the administrator on your db2. fromuser is the user for which you exported the data. touser is the user where you'r going to import the data of the previously exported user.

After the import completes, you'r done. Your old user is exported to the new user.

I hope this should be clear to you now.

Regards.

You are supposed know from whom you are about to import.
Ofcourse yes. You can get all the usernames from the dmp file.
But it would not decide for you!.
try this.

imp dba/password full=y show=y log=somefile.log file=somefile.dmp

THe import is not actually done.
Instead all the DDL is dumped into this file somefile.log.
Check the file. You get the information you need.
