.dmp files have been generated by oracle tools (data pump or maybe export). To exploit this files, you need to install Oracle (try for exemple oracle 10g express) and then use the import(imp) or data pump (impdb)

You can view the dump file contents using Toad (must be fully licensed with the DBA extension), imp or impdp.
Or
These commands will create viewable DDL of the actual DB creation.

Did your computer fail to open a DMP file? We explain what DMP files are and recommend software that we know can open or convert your DMP files.What is a DMP file?
Files that contain the .dmp file extension contain data that has been 'dumped' from the memory space of a computer program. These files are often created when an error occurs or a program crashes. In some circumstances a DMP file can be used by technical professionals or advanced computer users to troubleshoot system errors and other application issues. Microsoft saves its DMP files in a proprietary format and uses them to debug system applications.
The .dmp file extension is also used by some Oracle applications. When an Oracle application creates a step-by-step simulation for a run analysis it will save that simulation with the .dmp file extension.
