OCI-39779

type "string"."string" not found or conversion to latest version is not possible

Cause

Unable to import table data using the specified type. The type was nonexistent in the database or the input type could not be converted to the existing type. The reasons why a conversion was not possible are:

  1. The version of the type in the database was greater than the version of the type at export time because 1 or more attributes have been added or dropped from the type.
  2. If the type existed in the database prior to the import operation, then its internal identifier may not match the internal identifier of the type from the export database. The identifiers must match for an import to succeed.

Action

Ensure the types in the database match those at export time.
