Can I import .dmp file created from oracle (8i) into MySql database? I tried importing the dump file directly using mysql workbench, but showing some error which I am mentioning below.

How to solve this?

Answer 1

No, you probably can't.

An Oracle export is a proprietary, undocumented files format. It can, realistically, only be read by the Oracle import utility. There may be some third party tools that may have reverse engineered the file format, but I'm not aware of any that would import into MySQL.

If you import the data into a local Oracle database, it becomes much easier to transfer it into a MySQL database. Any ETL tool can do so, you can write an application to move the data, you can connect from Oracle to MySQL to push the data, you can extract the DDL and DML from the Oracle database, etc.
