Problems with Oracle 8i tables to 9i

[Kerwin]

Hello,

i am a real newbie in Oracle administration managment.

few days ago, i installed the Oracle 9i enterprise edition and created a new
database and a new user.

Now, i have some files from the Oracle 8i Server ( *.cmd, *.sql ). If i want
to start the CMD file, i have a lot of errors, because the filesystem of 8i
database is a huge different to the 9i database. I tried to import the SQL
files with SQL Plus, but this didn't work.

The next step was, to use the Oracle import tool. When i want start it, then
i become a message, that i should to start the Oracle Management Server(OMS
) but i use the Enterprise Manager Console only in the standalone modus.

My Question is now, how can i "import" the tables from 8i to 9i ?

i am looking forward to hearing from you

Export using 8i exp

Import using 9i imp

$ORACLE_HOME/bin/exp
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/imp

Hi

Try

www.orafaq.com and look up on exp and imp

alternatively type

exp help=y

and

imp help=y

thanks for the fast answers.

$ORACLE_HOME/bin/exp under Oracle 8i, then i typed in my username and after this the password. When i press the enter button, the DOS Window will be closed and don't make any export files.
I tried the same under Oracle 9i and there it works, but 8i not. Thats not really good :/

On a short look to orafaq, i didn´t see this problem(after trying with the exp)

Can i do something with the CMD and SQL files?

you must read the utility guide, exp has several compulsory parameters

someone would write parameter inside a text file then invoke the exp using parfile parameter


exp parfile=mypar.txt --> where mypar.txt stores your parameters such as userid, file, log etc
