    Hi friends,

    In my windowsNT box there was one database, now due to disk crash the database is not there. I have installed windowsNT and Oracle. Now i want to restore whole DB with export backup(latest one), but i don't know the structure of earlier DB (datafiles path and all) so How do i proceed with import ??

    I don't have anyother backup except EXPORT.

    Thnaks,

    Hi,
    datafiles paths are not important here.
    You have to create all tablespaces that were in the old database.
    In order to find out their names you may directly look in the dumpfile with an editor or use
    Code:
    imp user/pwd full=y indexfile=schema.sql
    In the schema.sql you'll see the create statements for all objects with tablespace names.

    This may make it a little clearer.

    You can not find the tablespace related info from the export dump. Simply write IMP command on the C:\ .

    Upeshp:

    If you open your export dump file, you will find at the very beginning of the tablespace structure you are looking for.
