- ------------------
- Yup, Unix (SCO and SunOS) have this problem too.
- My way around it is to write a shell script to dump the
- names of each table to a file and then create an export
- dump script to export the INDIVIDUAL tables. This creates
- a single dump file with each table in it (and data) without
- requireing that the target tablespace be of the same name
- as the original tablespace.
-
- As an illustration of what I mean, perform an ASCII dump
- of a regular user dump file
- (UNIX: cat expdmp.dat |strings >expdmp.text)
- and notice the "TABLESPACE" clause in each "CREATE TABLE"
- command. Arggg!
-
- piece of shell script:
-
- ...[deleted]
- echo "Exporting Tables.......\c"
- echo "userid=$LOGIN" >./params.exp
- echo "file=tables.dmp">>./params.exp
- echo "grants=Y" >>./params.exp
- echo "indexes=N" >>./params.exp
- echo "constraints=Y" >>./params.exp
- echo "tables=(\c" >>./params.exp
- sqlplus $LOGIN @$PGM_DIR/get_tb_lst.sql >/dev/null
- OLD_IFS=$IFS
- IFS=$LINE_IFS
- for LINE in `cat tables.all |grep -v "^$"`
- do
- TABLE=`echo $LINE|cut -f1 -d" "`
- echo "$C$TABLE\c" >>./params.exp
- C=", "
- done
- echo ")" >>./params.exp
- IFS=$OLD_IFS
- $EXP_DIR/exp parfile=./params.exp
- ...[deleted]
-
- Where
- LINE_IFS='
- '
- and get_tb_lst.sql is:
- REM This script creates a list of tables to be exported.
-
- set heading off
- set feedback off
- set linesize 35
- set pagesize 1000
- spool tables.all
- select TABLE_NAME from user_tables
- order by 1 ;
-
- spool off
- exit
