Import error - BLOB DATATYPE

HI

Oracle 8.1.7.4 - latest patch applied
win 2k server box.

I have taken a export of a single table which has blob datatype and it has 359 records , while i try to import it into another tablespace having different SID it fails , can any one tell me why ???
It says tablespace ossbss doesnot exist

OSSBSS IS the tablespace in which page_help is there and which has blob datatype.


My export script.
==================
D:\oracle\ora81\bin\exp userid=ossbss/ossbss tables=page_help file=D:\oracle\ora81\bin\pagehelp.dmp log=d:\oracle\ora81\bin\pagehelp.log

My import script
==============
D:\oracle\ora81\bin\imp system/manager fromuser=ossbss touser=hnsjuly tables=page_help file=D:\oracle\ora81\bin\pagehelp.dmp

Hi, YOU do not have ossbss tablespace in your database where you are importing. If you look at the script it is creating the table with tablespace ossbss. In your import command try out giving IGNORE=y, Commit=Y.

If this do not work. Get the create table script and edit the script to change tablespace name from ossbss to the available tablespace name and use the imp command with IGNORE=Y , commit=Y.

. Let me know if that worked.

It is working now

First I created the table with create table script.

Table got created

Then i ran the import command with option IGNORE=Y

It imported all the rows without any warnings.

Thanks a lot prince.
