RE: Skipping a table on import

Another thought, move the table to a different (new) schema, create synonym and privileges required, then export user=original schema(s), then do your import.

John,

A quick check turned up a "medium" parfile for me - only 1201 tables
listed. The file size is 14KB, so I guess it's not an issue for 8i. Even
on larger parfiles I've never gotten an error - for neither HP-UX nor
Win2k.

Jack,
I always knew there was a limit on the size of a parfile which I had
assumed
was a maximum no of tables allowed. However I recently found out that it is
a byte limit on the overall file parameter. (It was 8K in 7.x )
Do you not hit this limit with several thousand table names (presumably
not,
otherwise you would not do it !!!!) ??

Craig,

I had to smile when you stated you had 400 tables and were reluctant to
list them in the export or import parfile. Our 3rd party Student
Information system has over 47,000 tables. I frequently do exports and/or
imports with parfiles listing several thousand tables. It's not a problem
at all.

Spool the following to a text file and incorporate it (with minor editing
to add the parens and remove the first comma) into your parfile...
Select ',' || Table_Name
From   User_Tables
Where Table_Name <> '<theTableYouDoNotWant>'
;

Hi,
I'm trying to import the live schema into a test schema, but 1 or 2
tables have a lot of data and it's taking hours. Is there a way to skip
certain tables during an import?
We're using 8.1.7
We have 400 tables, so I'd like to avoid having to list all the tables
in the export statement.
I have to pre-create the tables to put them in the correct tablespace,
so could I alter the table definitions to force import to skip
particular ones?
Any help is appreciated.
