providing buffer size while importing
Hello
Iam importing a dump file (that is esported from a 8i database) to a 9i database. while importing i get a error stating that the buffer size is not enough to proceed the import. I ve given the maximum value for the buffer (39720) while specifying the import options.
is it the max value. can we give more value if so what is the max value that can be given.
also pls tell me like what are all the considerations that should be taken while importing
I am doing an user immport.
pls help me.
thanks in advance

I do not think that is the max size for a buffer. I am guessing you have some tables with long columns and the standar (default) buffer can not accomodate them.
Try this in your .PAR file...
BUFFER=12000000
COMMIT=Y
That should be big enough to swallow any row.

Hello
I tried the above option . I gave the following values
BUFFER=2000000
COMMIT=Y
still iam getting the same error
the error message is
IMP-00009: abnormal end of export file
IMP-00020: long column too large for column buffer size (22)
IMP-00018: partial import of previous table completed: 4808209 rows imported
Import terminated successfully with warnings.
is there any other way to deal this problem. pls help

There's two possible reasons for this.
I've had the same problem before
1.Usually the main reason for this is because there's long values in the tables you're importing and you did the export where direct=y. Try exporting via conventional then running your import. this fixed the problem with me
2.If you're ftp'ing the dmp file from one server another, how are your files copied/transported from the one to the other system. Be sure that it was done in a binary way. Some file-transfer programs/protocols do the job default in ASCII instead of BINARY resulting in very strange errors like you have. [size=1.5] as per metatlink article[/size]

Hello
Tahnks for your reply
I did the export only the conventional way. still i get this problem.
Now tell me one thing. is there any way by which we can select the specific tables that we need to export when exporting an user.
thanks in advance

By you saying this it means you haven't read up on anything. Please go read up on how to properly utilize the import and export utilites. Don't be so lazy. Once you have read about them then please feel free to come back and I'll be more than happy to help you.
