Re: Xfer dbase from UNIX to Win '95

Brad,

[Quoted] Don't edit the export file.

Simply pre-create the tablespaces with the correct sizes and DOS filenames.

[Quoted] Then run the import using the ignore=y parameter.

Import will see that the tablespaces it has instructions to build are already there and will not attempt to create them, but it will use them to [Quoted] store the objects.

If you ftp'd the export file to windows make sure it was a binary transfer.
