Gotta proofread. Sheesh. Can say for sure = CAN'T say for sure Each pair in the list the remap = Each pair in the list is a remap ________________________________ From: Sweetser, Joe Sent: Thursday, September 17, 2009 11:51 AM To: 'chet.justice@xxxxxxxxx'; oracle-l Subject: RE: IMPDP and REMAP_TABLESPACE Can say for sure but you have to remap each tablespace. Something like: Remap_tablespace=users:tablespace_1,users2:tablespace_2,users3:tablespac e_1,users4:tablespace_2 Each pair in the list the remap. I don't believe you can remap one tablespace into many...which is sort of looks like you are trying to.

On first go, none of the tables were created because the requisite tablespaces did not exist in my sandbox. Via the docs, I found the REMAP_TABLESPACE <http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/dp_impor t.htm#sthref342> parameter which seemed to suit my needs. The command line looked like this: c:\temp>impdb cjustice/testing@testing dumpfile=prod.dmp remap_tablespace=USERS:TABLESPACE_1,USERS_TABLESPACE_2,etc. I received the following error: Connected to: Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production With the Partitioning, OLAP and Data Mining options ORA-39001: invalid argument value ORA-39046: Metadata remap REMAP_TABLESPACE has already been specified. I also tried with semi-colons (;) and spaces as delimiters between the multiple tablespaces, each time receiving the error above. Would someone tell me how to use this particular piece of functionality or point me in the right direction? Thanks chet -- chet justice http://oraclenerd.com http://twitter.com/oraclenerd
