How to copy one schema into another
599472Apr 16 2010 — edited Apr 21 2010I need to copy one schema into another. That means, all the tables, views, constraints, etc, and all the data as well.
I have a dmp file of source-schema (created daily with expdp by our backup schedule).
Can I use impdp to import this dmp file into dest-schema? I'm thinking about something like this:
The dmp file was created with:
expdp source-schema/pwd DIRECTORY=dmpdir DUMPFILE=myproject.dmp
Create the copy on dest-schema with:
impdp dest-schema/pwd DIRECTORY=dmpdir DUMPFILE=myproject.dmp
(dest-schema is an existing schema on the same machine. I'll drop all the tables before executing the command. Is there anything else I should do first?)
If this approach is not feasible, kindly suggest me an alternative.
Thank you.
