Import views

Start with the docs.oracle.com for import, as this may depend upon the version from which the export was taken.  In particular,

Importing Views

Views are exported in dependency order. In some cases, Export must determine the ordering, rather than obtaining the order from the server database. In doing so, Export may not always be able to duplicate the correct ordering, resulting in compilation warnings when a view is imported, and the failure to import column comments on such views.

In particular, if viewa uses the stored procedure procb, and procb uses the view viewc, Export cannot determine the proper ordering of viewa and viewc. If viewa is exported before viewc and procb already exists on the import system, viewa receives compilation warnings at import time.

Grants on views are imported even if a view has compilation errors. A view could have compilation errors if an object it depends on, such as a table, procedure, or another view, does not exist when the view is created. If a base table does not exist, the server cannot validate that the grantor has the proper privileges on the base table with the GRANT OPTION. Access violations could occur when the view is used if the grantor does not have the proper privileges after the missing tables are created.

Importing views that contain references to tables in other schemas requires that the importer have SELECT ANY TABLE privilege. If the importer has not been granted this privilege, the views will be imported in an uncompiled state. Note that granting the privilege to a role is insufficient. For the view to be compiled, the privilege must be granted directly to the importer.

Hi

Here is the requireement.. There is a database called 'db1', under that there is a schema called 'sc1'. when I did refresh of this  dev database from the production ..some of the tables didn't come as they are not in production also. However there is a an export for the dev database. So, I have to import one view from the backup ( not datapump, tradional  exp/imp).. so how can I import the view from the ful database export to  schema 'sc1'?

imp scott/tiger IGNORE=y FILE = dat1.dmp full=n FROMUSER=sc1 TABLES=(view1)
