Hello sir,

I have win nt with oracle 7.3x. I have taken export backup as a .dmp file. I have another system with win nt and same oracle installed freshly. Now I want to import the data to the new system, if I use imp command at command prompt that is importing files but it is taking 10-12 hours to complete the job. Is there any other method by which I can do import the data to the new machine in 1 or 2 hours time. Backup file size is 560MB. If I copy the d:orantdatabase folder of old machine to new machine, the new machine will work fine without importing the dmp file. Please give me step by step processes for importing.

Regards,
Raju.

Hey Raju,

10-12 hrs for import is too long a time, that too for 560M, if your intention is to have the replica of the database in another system, then better take the cold backup of the prod database andcopy the files to another system and make it up.
Hope that helps,
Oraboyy

To improve the import, set the 'buffer' param while importing.

imp ...... buffer=524288

this should make a lot of difference. Plus 10-12 hours for a 560MB is REALLY a lot.

Good luck.

hi,

import with buffer=500000 commit=y option and indexes=N options it will centainly take less time

letter you can create the indexes later

hope it'll help you

Along with BUFFER, COMMIT=Y and INDEXES=N I would add:

ANALYZE=N

You can do analyze later.

Be careful with BUFFER. Oracle recommends using:

buffer = rows in array * recordlength

This will avoid:

ORA-4030: out of process memory when trying to allocate %s bytes (%s,%s)
IMP-44: unable to allocate enough memory for statement ""
IMP-3: ORACLE error %lu encountered

I have always used 64K for BUFFER and never had a problem. Test it. You might want to read up on BUFFER and export/import in MetaLink.
