Oracle Database Import Error 3113/3114


When trying to import the Oracle export dump into Oracle database, the following errors occur:

IMP-00003: ORACLE error 3113 encountered
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
IMP-00003: ORACLE error 3114 encountered
ORA-03114: not connected to ORACLE

The errors occur on Oracle database installed in Windows machine too. Actually the problem can occurs in any platform of Oracle database. It usually happens when try to import into new database.

The problem occurs because imp utiliy encounters error out when trying to execute some commands.

The solution to solve the problem is as following:

Login as sys in the SQLPLUS and run the following sqls

$OH/rdbms/admin/dbmsread.sql
$OH/rdbms/admin/prvtread.plb

After executing the above sql scripts, retry the import. The error should disappears.

Manual and Clean Uninstall Oracle for Windows



Warning: Editing registry may cause problems to your PC.

If you facing problems trying to uninstall Oracle from your Windows workstation, or unable to uninstall Oracle installations cleanly and properly, the following steps may be used to uninstall all Oracle products currently install on the workstation:

Uninstall all Oracle components using the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI).
Delete the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE key which contains registry entries for all Oracle products by using regedit.
Delete any references to Oracle services/components in the following registry 



location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/. Looks for key entries that starts with “Ora” which are obviously related to Oracle.



Reboot the workstation.



Delete the ORACLE_BASE directory. (i.e C:\Oracle)
Delete the C:\Program Files\Oracle directory.
Empty the temp directory.
Empty the recycle bin.
With this, the computer is more or less clear of any Oracle components, which allows you to reinstall Oracle if needed.
