Import a view Tips

Oracle Database Tips by Donald BurlesonMarch 12, 2015

Question: How do I import a single view in Oracle? I tried using imp in my dmp file but failed. How do I import a view in import?

Answer: You can use the data pump impdp utility to import all views:

impdp scott/tiger . . . include=views

Here we use import to import a specific view using the include_views operator:

impdp scott/tiger parfile=mypar.par

root> cat mypar.par

directory=dir_dump
dumpfile=dump.dmp
logfile=imp_MY_VIEW.log
include_view:\"= \'MY_VIEW\'\"
job_name=import_view
schemas=my_schema

Also see my notes on how to export a view.
