8i 'nested table' export not importing into 10g
Hi,
I have exported a user schema from version 8.1.7 using a standard exp command:
exp FRED/password FILE=FRED.dmp OWNER=FRED rows=Y grants=Y log=FRED.log
Checking the log file all seems fine.
The file is then imported into ORACLE 10g 10.2.0
imp FRED/password FILE=FRED.dmp FULL=y
All works except a table containing an outer nested table. The DESCRIPTOR table and nested table VALS_ALLOWED_TABLE (and data) are missing. Using IMP SHOW on the 10g server I can see that the definition of the tables and this works when run from sqlplus...
CREATE TABLE DESCRIPTOR
(
DESCRIPTOR_NAME VARCHAR2(24) NOT NULL,
DESC_VALS_ALLOWED DEFAULT "SHM"."DESC_VALS_ALLOWED_T"(),
...
...
LAST_MOD_ID VARCHAR2(30)
)
NESTED TABLE DESC_VALS_ALLOWED STORE AS VALS_ALLOWED_TABLE
TABLESPACE SHM
The type DESC_VALS_ALLOWED_T is created fine,
CREATE TYPE DESC_VALS_ALLOWED_T OID "ABC4567" As TABLE OF VARCHAR2(8);
any thoughts why it simply does not work? Does the OID matter?
thanks
Phil

Any errors reported in your IMP log?
Have you ever successfully EXP/IMP offending table in the past?

Hi,
No , this is the first time an exp/imp has ben performed; I have tried 8i to 8i and the same problem occurs.. so it is not the oracle version but how exp generates the dmp file for import.
I keep getting the following when I try to import, this is the nested table:
IMP-00017: following statement failed with ORACLE error 2203:
"ALTER TABLE "VALS_ALLOWED_TABLE" PCTFREE 10 PCTUSED 40 INITRANS 1 MAXTRANS" 255 LOGGING STORAGE(INITIAL 0)"
IMP-00003: ORACLE error 2203 encountered
ORA-02203: INITIAL storage options not allowed
I am trying to why the exp ( EXPORT!)... generates this clause, it causes the import to fail each time.
thanks
Phil

Import is failing because Oracle -via Import- is attempting to alter "initial" storage allocation which is not possible.
Try this...
1- Pre Create your table
2- Include option IGNORE=Y in your Import statement
