exp/imp in a network how does it work locally?

[michele]

Example:

You find 3 records on you local computer in database 'A'

You want to import these records in another database 'B'.

But, you're in a network so when you do an import you're going to import of all the records of the database 'A' instead of the 3 you selected, correct?

As the import takes place from the server and not locally, so the server doesn't know anything about the 3 records you selected.

I know how to work around this but I was wandering if my conclusion was right.

Thankyou for reading and eventually for answering my question.

The import doesn't take place on the server. If both files are open on the same client computer (doesn't matter that they are hosted by server) and the import is performed on that client computer, the imports are relative to the found sets for that client.

Whatever problem you are having, this isn't the cause.
