Re: How do I import a .dmp file?
David, What you use to bulk-import a file has more to do with its format than its extension. Different products can all produce files with the same extensions but with totally different formats. Not all SQL and DMP files are created the same. Read up on the native MySQL import/export facilities and compare what they can read with what you see if you open your downloaded database with a text editor. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/mysqlimport.html http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/LOAD_DATA.html http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/mysqldump.html If phpMyAdmin has any bulk-import functions/facilities then read up on those, too. You may need to preprocess your raw data file to make it compatible with any of your available import functions. http://www.phpmyadmin.net/documentation/#faq (start at 6.4 and 6.5 and work your way from there) Yours, Shawn Green Database Administrator Unimin Corporation - Spruce Pine David Blomstrom [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on 07/21/2004 11:27:33 PM: I know how to import files ending with a .sql extension with phpMyAdmin.

Are you referring to an Oracle .dmp export file? If so you will also need to do some parsing. -Original Message- From: matt ryan To: David Blomstrom Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 7/22/04 1:40 PM Subject: Re: How do I import a .dmp file?

Re: How do I import a .dmp file?
While the extension on the file isn't set in stone, many people add the .dmp extension to files created with the Oracle exp utility. You can use a third party utility call nxtract (http://www.elmbronze.co.uk/nxtract/index.htm) to convert exp files into tab delimited files. The eval version only does 5k rows of data though. I've never used, nor do I endorse nxtract. I just found it while googling around looking for a tool to process oracle exp files. It might be easier to just connect to the oracle instance (if it still exists) using perl and extracting the data to insert statements that way.

Seems to me that if you don't know what's in the file, you're going to have a hard time doing anything sensible with it. Perhaps your first task is to determine what it actually contains before you can figure out how to get it into MySQL? -- Paul DuBois, MySQL Documentation Team Madison, Wisconsin, USA MySQL AB, www.mysql.com -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
