I have a question about how the export/import utility works. My situation
is that damagement had me put my live and test environments on the same
server. Now they realize that this is not a good situation(test has crashed
the server a few times and required a re-boot, imagine that). I have Oracle
8.1.7 running on Windoze NT 4.0. I have to move my live database to another
server. From reading the fine manuals and from posts that I have seen I
have decided to use the export/import utility to make my move. My database
is inactive for the weekend. What I am not sure of is this, on my current
live database my datafiles(.dbf) reside on drive E. The server I am moving
to has a drive F that will be for my data. I have done the export using
this command;
EXP MY_NAME/MY_PASSWORD FILE=C:\MY_DUMP.DMP FULL=Y COMPRESS=Y
The export ran with no errors or warnings. Now, since my datafiles reside
on drive e will the import then be looking for drive e to place the data in.
I do not see any option to specify where I want the data to go. Or if I run
the import from the f drive of the destination server will the import
utility place the data in drive F.
Thanks,
Dave
