Hello everyone,

I'm relatively new to Oracle and would like a bit of assistance with IMPORT/EXPORT.

We have a situation here where we have two tablespaces defined in a database - one being for development and the second for testing. I have been assigned to the latter. Both tablespaces will contain identical table definitions, integrity constraints, etc. and both sets of tables are likely to be created by our DBA.

As I understand it, in order to export Sequence information you need to perform an export in User mode. That means I need the EXP_FULL_DATABASE privilege to export objects created by the DBA. The thing is I only need to export the objects from the test tablespace. My suspicion is that if I do an export in user mode specifying the DBA's schema this will result in objects from both tablespaces being exported. Is this correct? If so does anyone know of a way I can export the objects contained in my own tablespace only?

The most obvious way around it is if I create the tables myself but i am unsure as to whether or not this is acceptable for our purposes.

The reason I need to know all this is because I have been assigned the task of tester for this SQLWindows app we are developing against Oracle. I envisage using export/import as the means of bringing the test database back to its original state after performing tests.

Thanks,
