Actually no. If you watched this new group, I am generally more than willing to help. I don't feel that I was in any way condenscending. I mearly stated the facts.

You have no idea about my character. You are jumping to unobvious assumptions.

In order to use an export, you need to know a little about creating a database. You need to understand tablespaces. You need to understand grants and rights of the users. You need to know what errors you can ignore and which ones you can't. Just importing a database won't suffice. Just creating the database that came with the CD won't get you what you want. I have many DBA's that work under me, and I wouldn't think of asking one, unless it was a test in futility, to attempt what you are asking until they have had about 2 months under their belts. So again, unless you have a lot of time on your hands. HIRE SOMEONE!
