Hi All, Thanks for all the responses. I have used fromuser=scott,tiger touser=usera,userb before and hence was expecting fromuser=scott touser=usera,userb to work. I did try David's suggestion of fromuser=scott,scott touser=usera,userb. Import from scott -> usera succeeds while scott->userb fails with the following error: IMP-00034: Warning: FromUser "SCOTT" not found in export file. Import terminated successfully with warnings --Sundar ________________________________ From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of David Ballester Sent: July 6, 2010 12:25 PM To: Oracle-L@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: import fromuser=scott touser=usera,userb 2010/7/6 D'Hooge Freek <Freek.DHooge@xxxxxxxxx<mailto:Freek.DHooge@xxxxxxxxx>> Sundar, The command will import the objects from the scott schema in the dump file into the usera schema on the database. If you would have something like "fromuser=scott,tiger touser=usera,userb" then scott's objects will be imported into usera and tiger's objects into the userb schema.

I am on Oracle 10.2.0.4.0 and the above command only imported usera and not userb. Is this how this is supposed to work? My understanding is scott's objects should have been imported into usera as well as userb. Thanks for all your help. --Sundar -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l Question that i never tried what if fromuser=scott,scott touser=usera,userb? I think that imp reads sequentially and this should not work, but just curious and no database for testing right now. Anyone tried before? D.
