This is highly unusual. I do this only out of desperation. I am DB2
DBA on unix and recent had to take on Oracle admin as well. This
question is really about Oracle export/import. Why I post here
( please allow me once ) because
I posted at the other Google Oracle main group and it's surprising
under-attended, very few recent posters and lots of spams. I ask here
because some of you would have been experienced Oracle DBA as well.


I am just starting out as Oracle DBA on Solaris 9i, been on DB2 UDB
LUW and MSSQL and Sybase. I finished
exp/imp a schema from from another oracle instance. Everything looked
good except:

select dbms_metadata.get_granted_ddl ('SYSTEM_GRANT','XXXX') from
dual;


DBMS_METADATA.GET_GRANTED_DDL('SYSTEM_GRANT','XXXX ')
---------------------------------------------------------------------------*-----


GRANT SELECT ANY DICTIONARY TO "XXXX"


GRANT CREATE ANY SNAPSHOT TO "XXXX"


on my original db, I got:


SQL> select dbms_metadata.get_granted_ddl ('SYSTEM_GRANT','XXXX')
from
dual;


DBMS_METADATA.GET_GRANTED_DDL('SYSTEM_GRANT','XXXX ')
---------------------------------------------------------------------------*-----


GRANT SELECT ANY DICTIONARY TO "XXXX"


GRANT CREATE ANY SNAPSHOT TO "XXXX"


GRANT CREATE ANY VIEW TO "XXXX"


GRANT UNLIMITED TABLESPACE TO "XXXX"


Before I started the import (with fromuser=XXXX touser=XXXX) , I
granted (from sys as sysdba I think),


GRANT SELECT ANY DICTIONARY TO "XXXX";
GRANT CREATE ANY SNAPSHOT TO "XXXX";
GRANT UNLIMITED TABLESPACE TO "XXXX";
grant select any dictionary to "XXXX";


and was succesfully. I didnt run the dbms-get-ddl to check - thinking
all was well - it said success after all.
then later i checked.

Why "CREATE ANY VIEW" and "UNLIMITED TABLESPACE" not shown up ?


----------------------------------------------- part 2
----------------------------------


By the way data compared with source looked good after import. Same
counts and everything although I didnt check every user tables. I did
get this on the log output of imp:


IMP-00017: following statement failed with ORACLE error 20001:

About to enable constraints...
Import terminated successfully with warnings.


Is it only bad statistics ? nothing to worry about right and I can
run compute statistics on the user tables to fix ? The export log
did
say something about "questionable statistics".


Your answer is most appreciated. --Richard
