Hi.

I am going to clone a database on the same box. Please correct me if the following steps is wrong

Using exp/imp:
a. run create database script to create the database, run the catalog.sql and catproc.sql to create the data dictionary views and plsql procedures
b. create the tablespace structure same as the target database
c. create the users same as the target database
d. export the source database, then import to the target databsae.

I know there is another way using "create control file " to copy a database, but I have several questions:
a. do I still run the create database script, catalog.sql etc.
b. do I still need to create the tablespace structure for the target database

Thanks for help!
