Question

I have an oracle .dmp file, and no access to a local oracle install..

Is there any way I can read the data or open it in another program to see what data is in this file?

Answer 1

Nope, the .dmp files are generally meant to be read and imported by Oracle’s imp tool

If that’s it, don’t waste your time. DMP files are to be read by
Oracle’s IMP utility and nothing else
(you could, of course, use any editor,
but you’re close to see nothing useful
in there).

Seems if you have a licensed copy of Toad, you can use the DBA utilities to view the files

The DBA utilities in TOAD has File
Browser that allows you to view export
files. Although I think this function
is only available in a fully licensed
copy of TOAD.
