      1.What do you mean by importing a databse?
      Loading the exported data into a database. Export is an Oracle utility
      designed to extract data from the database an place it into a
      custom-formatted export file for import later on.
      2.Is it possible to import Sybase databse to Oracle databse?
      No
      3.Do I need Sybase database to migrate data to Oracle Database?
      Yes. Or at least an extract with a known format that can be mapped.
      4.When i use import utility , will oracle create all the tables?
      Yes.

      Go to Oracle's online documentation (at http://otn.oracle.com >>
      Documentation [icon at top]) and look for the list of manuals. Dig out
      the Utilities manual (gives details of export and import) and the
      Concepts manual (look at the table of contents for interesting
      chapters.) Then you will have a better understanding of the questions
      you asked.
      Thanks in advance
