Answer 1

To transfer your user(schema) with all related objects(table, triggers and so on) to another computer with Oracle 11g installed on, you can do the following:

On a first computer (where you have your user created) use exp command line utility to unload user's(schema's) data to an OS file(dump file).

exp userid=yourusername/youruserpassword@Connect_Identifier File=OSPath
Example
Exp userid=scott/tiger@ORCL file=c:\scott.dmp

transfer created *.dmp file to another computer with Oracle 11 installed on and use imp command line utility to load *.dmp file into a NEW (it means you have to create a user id it doesn't exist already ) created schema(users)

 imp userid/password@Connect_identifier fromuser=user_name_you_have_data_unloaded_from touser=new_user_name file=Path_to_*.dmp file

As you are using Oracle 11g you can use Data pump Export and Data Pump Import utilities to do the same thing. Exp and Imp are there for backward compatibility but the will work as expected.
