    before triggers on dodgy insert

    the trigger does not fire becuase the constraints seem to be checked before the insert is performed. the constraint fails and so the insert never occurs and thus the trigger is never fired. a before trigger is exactly what we want but it only seems to work if the db decides it *will* insert a row.

    variables with metacharacters in them - help pls

    Thanks, However it seems to have nothing to do with passing the pattern on the command line, as the second example the pattern is hard coded in the BEGIN section and it still complains about the open parentheses. I still tried what you've said though, and it still fails

    help on export and import a large schema

    the export file itself should be platform independant. If your sun os does not support files larger than 2gb then you will need to split the export file into several chunks use the FILESIZE param and multiple FILE entries eg file=(a,b,d,e,f) ftp them in binary and you should be OK. with that...

    Help dbf file

    There are a couple of ways. 1) export the data, and then import into the new instance using exp/imp 2) flag the originating tablespace as transportable. You can then copy the dbf files to the new instance and add the new tablespace.
