How to import an Oracle database from dmp file and log file?

Question

How would I go about creating a database from a dump file? I do not have an existing database with the same structure on my system so it has to be complete with jobs, events, ta

Answer 1

How was the database exported?

• If it was exported using exp and a full schema was exported, then

  1. Create the user:

     create user  identified by  default tablespace  quota unlimited on ;
     

  2. Grant the rights:

     grant connect, create session, imp_full_database to ;
     

  3. Start the import with imp:

     imp /@ file=.dmp log=.log full=y;
     

• If it was exported using expdp, then start the import with impdp:

  impdp / directory= dumpfile=.dmp logfile=.log full=y;
  

Looking at the error log, it seems you have not specified the directory, so Oracle tries to find the dmp file in the default directory (i.e., E:\app\Vensi\admin\oratest\dpdump\).

Either move the export file to the above path or create a directory object to pointing to the path where the dmp file is present and pass the object name to the impdp command above.
