Oracle dump file (.DMP) is a binary storage used by Oracle users and database administrators to backup data. Oracle distribution pack includes the standard tool EXP for this purpose. The problem is that Oracle dump file is a "black box" and there is no way to extract data from such files except the standard IMP tool. However, this utility can import data to Oracle server only. But what if you just need to access the data without Oracle database server? Or maybe you want to migrate Oracle dump file into another data format? Definitely, Oracle IMP tool is not a convenient solution for these tasks.
Even if you have live instance of Oracle server, there are a lot of possible issues you may experience when importing a dump file:
