Hi,
I have been taking database imports through the SYSTEM password. After the import is completed, the password for the SYSTEM user is changed. As a result, i have to open a different session through SYSTEM before the import, so that i can change the passowrd back to the original one.
Wht does the password for the user(SYSTEM) changes ?

The only way to have a password changed is that someone changed it.

SYSTEM user already existed in all databases, so it keeps its password after import.

But no one has changed it.
This happens everytime, i take an import.
I am confused with this behaviour.

Explain when it changed.
In which database, source or target?
Was it the same in both databases?
Was is different?
What was it before import?
What is it after import?
What are your database character sets?
What are your NLS_LANG during export and import?

Dear Mudda,
The only basic requirement is to understand what you are doing. Do you believe that carrying User definitions from one database to another is worth unless you need them. A full export/import always includes User definitions and when you do an import your user definitions in target database are over written. It is not a good idea to do a full export/import unless you really need it and situation warrants it. Most DBAs use Export/Import as a backup tool and end up in classical situations like yours. A look into OracleŽ Database Utilities manual will tell you what goes with which mode of import/export. It is explained there in a nice tabular format. Hope you will go through it before attempting an exp/imp next time.

Regards

Yes, i think i need to go through the Oracle Database Utilities manual to gain an insight into this.
Thanks for pointing out the same Manjit Smile
