When using the Navigator, you do not get choice of what data to import. After the import has finished, you will prompted to view the log file. It is a good idea to view the log file, to check whether the import was successful or not. This method allows you to specify which data you want to export. This works on a per-user basis i.e., you tell it which user to import.
Administrative users can import the objects for any user.
This also imports all of the system definitions, including tablespaces, which were exported from the database using the export utility. This command would import the entire database to your local database. There are several parameters that can be used following the IMP80 command. I have listed a few important ones below. For additional information about the import utility commands refer to Richard Fieldhouse s Personal Oracle8 Explorer .
