Sonja, A simple way of doing this is to not perform a full export. Just = export the schema/users that have data. This is my preferred method of = export/import.

But, = =3D when I checked imported objects, I noticed that with users objects also = =3D arrived some SYSTEM objects from the old version.=3D20 So, I've been wondering is there any way I can prevent oracle from =3D importing old SYSTEM object into the new database? I know I can do that = =3D with importing FROMUSER, TOUSER but I'd rather avoid it. TIA, Sonja -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
