Importing Data to DB with Added tables / columns

I apologize if this might be a beginner question, which is clear to
the experts. But I could not find a clear answer yet.

I have extracted a schema / user with the exp utility. I want to
import it into a schema / user of a different Oracle server. Tables
structures etc. are more or less the same. However, there are a few
ADDITIONAL COLUMNS AND TABLES in the target database (no columns or
tables have been removed though).

Can I use imp to transfer the data or do I have to use a different
tool (e.g. SQL loader). I am afraid that the process might be a bit
more complex and significantly slower (we are talking about approx.
1GB of data).

I am also thinking of importing the schema / user with the old
structure and then run a few scripts to update the table columns etc.
afterwards. Is this a viable approach or are there any concerns?

Thanks!

Mic

I can import a csv file with no problem. I can also add columns to the datagrid upon import. I want to be able to start importing at the 3rd row. This will pick up the headers necessary for the datagrid. Once I can get to that point I need some way to be able to add new data only to the new columns that were added. Here is some of my code: //Function For Importing Data From CSV File public DataSet ConnectCSV(string filetable)

Hi I've got an Ingres database of some 200 tables which I need to import every night into SQL Server 2005 for use by Reporting Services. Most of the tables will come across unchanged (a few need massaging to handle time intervals correctly), but the Import Wizard only seems to want to import one table (or more accurately query) at a time. I seem to remember the old 2000 Import Wizard handled multiple tables - is there any way of...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
