How to use Oracle DMP files?

Question

I have some files of an Oracle database with username and password.

How do I connect to all files and browse the data tables and fields. I want to view all my recor

Answer 1

Two steps to get your data

1. Install an oracle database
2. Import the dmp files you had

You can query the data using sql with username and password.

Answer 2

Oracle .dmp files can only be read by Oracle tools. Try installing the free oracle 10g express and use the import command. Or you can use SQL developer which is installed by default with Oracle 10g express or can be downloaded and installed separately.
Either way you need to import the files to an Oracle database to view the files easily.

Answer 3

Those .dmp files are data dumps used for backup and recovery. You don't use them as is, but re-import them in your Oracle DBMS.
