viewing contents of an dump file

[scotta]

I have got an export file (dmp) from Oracle 7.3.4
I have no idea what tablespaces are in it.
Is there a way I can view these without importing
the whole file. There are some specific tables
I need.

thanks,
scotta

Using the show=y option on import, will just show you the contents of the dump file.

After you get the table names you want to import from
show=y,
Use the
tables=(table1,table2,...)
option to select only the tables you need.
