Question : Import feature in Pl/Sql Developer


I am new using Import/Export features in Oracle. Right now, am using Pl/Sql Developer tool. I was working a dummy table to learn the Import feature in this tool.

I understood that "Import Tables"  load data into the same table whatever the source table is..

Eg: I have created .dmp file exporting the data from Test_001 from schema A. I logged into schema B and then used the .dmp file which I exported for importing the data. It loaded the data in the same Test_001 table in Schema B.

Can I use the same .dmp file generated using Oracle export for loading into some table 'X'.. i.e not the table which has the same tablename from where .dmp got generated..

I tried that in Pl/Sql developer tool but it is not giving me option to load the .dmp file into a particular table..

Can someone guide me

Another option is to create a DB Link between the two databases at the schema level to get the data across.

Once the DB Link is created, just do the following on the destination database:

create table <table_name> as Select * from SchemaA.<table_name>@<source database>;

This method will allow you to change the table name in the process as well if you want to "import" the data into a different schema or table than the dump file would create.
