I searched google, it's of no help in my case. I also disabled constraints import. Though constraints get enabled after importing rows, still I cleared my doubt. What else can be done?

[davey23uk]

the error is perfectly clear

cannot insert NULL into ("QUARKDMS"."MAM_ASSETS"."INDEX_SOURCE")

stop trying to insert nullls into the column

It's import which is inserting. How can I control it. The column is BLOB type.

INDEX_SOURCE NOT NULL BLOB[/CODE]

Either fix the data or make column nullable - only you know if this is acceptable according to business rules.

[davey23uk]

crikey - why cant you understand it - you are trying to insert nulls into a not null common

this is very very basic

[mahajanakhil198]

Dave and PAVB, I understood.

I separately created the table MAM_ASSETS and removed NOT NULL from problematic columns. Then I used ignore=y option to import. But somewhere while importing, it creates NOT NULL constraints on these columns and I again start receiving the same error.

What can I do here? How could I remove the code from import that creates NOT NULL constraints?

Or as a workaround, I am able import only MAM_ASSETS table. But now the problem is that I don't want to import MAM_ASSETS while importing the rest of schema. IMP doesn't provide something like exclude as in IMPDP.

[skhanal]

Can you drop the existing table and let import create the table and import data.

[vnktummala]

IMP doesn't provide something like exclude as in IMPDP.

Akhil - look into constraints=n and indexes=n imp options.

how many tables you are trying to import? if you don't want to use constraints=n indexes=n then provide individual table names to imp excluding the one you have already imported.

Thanks,

Around 98 tables are there.

Is there a way to import constraints only later on If I use constraints=no?

I was thinking of some other workaround. Firstly import only MAM_ASSETS table with no constraints and indexes. Then, use import with ignore=n. When table MAM_ASSETS is reached, it will be skipped with error and its indexes and constraints should get imported. I wonder if it would work.

[vnktummala]

yes, you have multiple ways to do that.

but, first place I am wordaring why imp is trying to insert null values. Because I am sure the NOT NULL constraint is there on the source table so no chance of having null values in source. Does it mean that the BLOB column data is not exported??

as the other poster said, drop that table with cascade constraints and let imp create the table and see how it goes.

Thanks,
