Yes why not? What is your exact requirement? Below details would help you: If you have the table export dump, then you can always import in to database irrespective of the status. Before one imports rows into already populated tables, one needs to truncate or drop these tables to get rid of the old data. If not, the new data will be appended to the existing tables. One must always DROP existing Sequences before re-importing. If the sequences are not dropped, they will generate numbers inconsistent with the rest of the database. It is also advisable to drop indexes before importing to speed up the import process. Indexes can easily be recreated after the data was successfully imported. You can also follow the below link for the complete Export/Import theory. http://www.orafaq.com/wiki/Import_Export_FAQ Thanks, Ananth On Wed, Nov 19, 2008 at 11:27 AM, khabeer khayyam <khabeer1983@xxxxxxxxx>wrote: > Hello! > > Plz tell me whether a table be imported when the Oracle Database(9i) is up. > > > Regards, > > Khayyam > > > ------------------------------ > Be the first one to try the new Messenger 9 Beta!
