How to get an Oracle sql text from a dmp file? - oracle

Question

Can I get an actual sql definition from an Oracle dmp file? I'm trying to migrate a complete schema into another (not oracle) type of database and I want all the tables and views etc. so I can edit them in sql format. I have a .dmp of the whole thing, but can I get it in text format?

Answer 1

The Oracle imp command has a show parameter. From the Oracle 11.2 docs
SHOW
Default: n
When SHOW=y, the contents of the export dump file are listed to the display and not imported. The SQL statements contained in the export are displayed in the order in which Import will execute them.
The SHOW parameter can be used only with the FULL=y, FROMUSER, TOUSER, or TABLES parameter.
The impdp command has a sqlfile parameter. From the Oracle 11.2 docs
SQLFILE
Default: There is no default
Purpose
Specifies a file into which all of the SQL DDL that Import would have executed, based on other parameters, is written.
Syntax and Description
SQLFILE=[directory_object:]file_name
The file_name specifies where the import job will write the DDL that would be executed during the job. The SQL is not actually executed, and the target system remains unchanged. The file is written to the directory object specified in the DIRECTORY parameter, unless another directory_object is explicitly specified here. Any existing file that has a name matching the one specified with this parameter is overwritten.
Note that passwords are not included in the SQL file. For example, if a CONNECT statement is part of the DDL that was executed, then it will be replaced by a comment with only the schema name shown. In the following example, the dashes (--) indicate that a comment follows, and the hr schema name is shown, but not the password.
-- CONNECT hr
Therefore, before you can execute the SQL file, you must edit it by removing the dashes indicating a comment and adding the password for the hr schema.
For Streams and other Oracle database options, anonymous PL/SQL blocks may appear within the SQLFILE output. They should not be executed directly.
Restrictions
If SQLFILE is specified, then the CONTENT parameter is ignored if it is set to either ALL or DATA_ONLY.
To perform a Data Pump Import to a SQL file using Oracle Automatic Storage Management (Oracle ASM), the SQLFILE parameter that you specify must include a directory object that does not use the Oracle ASM + notation. That is, the SQL file must be written to a disk file, not into the Oracle ASM storage.
The SQLFILE parameter cannot be used in conjunction with the QUERY parameter.
Example
The following is an example of using the SQLFILE parameter. You can create the expfull.dmp dump file used in this example by running the example provided for the Export FULL parameter. See "FULL".
> impdp hr DIRECTORY=dpump_dir1 DUMPFILE=expfull.dmp
SQLFILE=dpump_dir2:expfull.sql
A SQL file named expfull.sql is written to dpump_dir2.
Here is the command line for imp
imp system#myinstance fromuser=myuser touser=user2 file=f:\mypath\mydmpfile.dmp show=y rows=n log=f:\mypath\mylogfile.log statistics=none buffer=2000000 feedback=1000
