I thought I would share this information with the List. When we ftp'ed the file from NT to UNIX in Binary mode, we were able to import the tables we needed with 'tables' option in import. It wasn't working with 'full=y' option. Developer is verifying the data to make sure it looks good.
Thanks.

When there was buffer parameter or record length parameter, It did not work. Instead of importing the full dmp file, If I try to import one table, it is working okay. I still have to try couple of alternatives and let the List Group know the outcome.

DOn't you have to set that higher than default when importing data that has binary fields? The exp file might be okay. THis is the BUFFER input parameter to imp. Brad O -----Original Message----- [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2003 1:24 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi All, One of our developer ftp'ed the export (dmp) file from UNIX to NT in ASCII mode. He didn't know that it supposed to be done in BINARY mode. Now, he ftp'ed the dmp file back to UNIX in ASCII mode and tried doing the import. Looks like dmp file has been corrupted and Import is giving the following error. IMP-00020: long column too large for column buffer size (22) IMP-00028: partial import of previous table rolled back: 16380 rows rolled back/ Is there any way to fix the dmp file. Any ideas? I searched the metalink and looks like there is no way to correct it. It is on HP-UX and oracle 8.1.7.4 I appreciate your help. Thanks.
