Hey sreddy! Thanks for yoru help. I read your steps for exp/imp and I was wondering. The thing is that I have to have two data bases with the exact same structure and everything but they're gonna hold different data. I already have one that's going to be emptied out and I need to sort of duplicate that. Should I first CREATE a new DataBase with the same characteristics for their table spaces, log files, control files and data files and then do the import?

Thanks again for your help and sorry for any inconvenience.
