Importing data from one workspace to another workspace - oracle-apex-5

Question

In oracle apex export of data from table is done in .csv format and during loading the data into another workspace it shows an error ORA-01843: not a valid month
I tried to import the data in .xml format but it also produces an error:
ORA-31011: XML parsing failed ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing LPX-00222: error received from SAX callback function ORA-02291: integrity constraint (RETAIL_CLOUD.RCM_CUSTOMER_FK2) violated - parent key not found
Could someone help me to sort out this error

Answer 1

You got something wrong. A workspace is a container for your Apex applications, it doesn't contain user data. That's what your question suggests ("export data in a CSV format"). Data is stored in a table (which resides in a tablespace) and belongs to a certain user.
As of an invalid month: check whether NLS settings are equal for both source and target. For example, 20.03.2018 can't be valid if date format is set to YYYY-MM-DD. Or, if your dates were stored in a VARCHAR2 column and now should be inserted into a DATE data type column, you should beware invalid dates (such as Feb 30th or 30.42.2018 etc.).
Trying to do that via XML produces an error which doesn't have anything to do with the previous one - it says that you are trying to load child values into some table, but its parent doesn't exist yet which violated the foreign key constraint.
If I were you, I wouldn't migrate data with CSV nor XML files, but use Oracle's (Data Pump) Export & Import utilities which are designed for such things. I encourage you to investigate Data Pump, or - at least - original EXP and IMP utilities.
[EDIT: example of a simple EXP/IMP utilities usage]
User SCOTT has table named DEPT. I'd like to export it, and then import it to MIKE's schema (which currently doesn't have that table):
SQL> connect mike/lion#orcl
Connected.
SQL> select * from tab where tname = 'DEPT';
no rows selected
SQL> $exp scott/tiger#orcl tables=dept file=my_export.dmp

It has also finished successfully. Finally, let's check whether MIKE now has the DEPT table and what's in there:
SQL> show user
USER is "MIKE"
SQL> select * From dept;
DEPTNO DNAME LOC

As you can see, it is quite simple. Both EXP and IMP have numerous parameters you can use; once again - check the documentation.
