Then I would, as a part of the export job, generate "create user" sql statements that go with each export that you could use when you need to re-import the tables. If it is needed, then you must create it! :) -----Original Message----- From: Sinardy Xing [mailto:SinardyXing@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, December 01, 2004 11:14 AM To: Mercadante, Thomas F; Oracle-L@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Import Urgent thanks, my problem is the users are not static, if the application add new module new users will created. this application is very complicated. everything are dynamic very difficult to recover. -----Original Message----- From: Mercadante, Thomas F [mailto:thomas.mercadante@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, December 01, 2004 11:39 PM To: Sinardy Xing; Oracle-L@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Import Urgent Sinardy, Create the users by hand before the import.

I have good full exported dump file 2. drop all application users 3. -----Question--- Can I use import to create user only before I go to = step 4? I tried full=3Dy rows=3Dn constraints=3Dn indexes=3Dn (return = irritating warning ora-00061) 4. import using fromuser touser My objective is try to avoid error like ora-00061 = system.Repcap$_object_null.... system primary key violation... The log is too difficult to read for end user Regards, Sinardy -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
