Date: Wed, 30 May 2001 08:28:47 -0700 Subject: Build an exact copy of a database using export / import Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain When I build a new test database I create the database and run all the required Oracle scripts. Then I do a full import of a production export. This works pretty well but I miss some of the grants and The full import wants to create tablespaces that I may or may not want created. I get a lot of errors on system objects. Does anyone have the proper steps to create an exact copy of a production database using export / import? Thanks!
