Symptoms

In a remote Oracle8i or higher release database, you have a table with a column of the TIMESTAMP data type:


- Increasing the value for the Import BUFFER parameter does not solve the IMP-20 error.
- Pre-creating the table in the target schema and running import with IGNORE=Y does not solve the IMP-20 error.
- Specifying Import parameter COMMIT=Y does not import any row for this table.
