Morning Sundar, >> ... Is there a similar >> option/method to write insert statements/dml to a file named >> dmlcreate.log? In a word, almost! I can't remember exactly, but either in your show= or your index= logfile, you will find a number of INSERT INTO <table> VALUES (:1, :2, :3, :4, :5, :6 .....) - I'm certain I have seen these statements in the past. However, as you can see, the imp process uses bind variables (parse once, execute many) and thus, you will be unable to get the full list of INSERT statements that you require I'm afraid. On second thoughts, maybe I've seen these statements in Toad when monitoring an imp session - sorry, I can't remember exactly. It's been a while. HTH Cheers, Norm.
