    If you have a full export of a Database , and you have a empty barnd new database and you want to import your dump file in this new database, DOES import create all necessary tablespaces, users, and every other things by itself ?

    An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure

    Post sync primary & secondary db

    Hi,

    Fine, I use the full db export dump, to populate this new (secondary) database.

    Now I want to take it to the next level.
    How do I keep the secondary db in sync with the primary.
    Do daily cumulative db export/import?
    May be this is the NOT suggested ? What do you guys say?

    thank you,
    nk

    Cummulative would be a good choice if you plan to do things through the exp.

    Thank you Kishore & sambavan

    my requirement ?
    our backup & recovery strategy is rather limited.
    we do only a daily full db export !

    And I wanted to impove things and at the same time, wanted to set up a secondary db in sync (with the primary), so that it could serve as DSS (run only queries, no dml/ddl).

    It was in the of the light above that I was asking my question.

    thank you,
    nk

    use snapshot read-only replication, refresh once a day.

    If this is a production database, I would be a bit hesitant to rely on exp/imp as the only backup method.
