RE: How do you refresh your databases?

A little late, but what about partial database recovery and a shameless plug?

Subject: How do you refresh your databases?

List,

  We have to refresh a QA database from production (to have some real data) but 
we need to exclude all the PCI/PII from the refresh (it absolutely cannot be 
copied from Prod to QA). In addition, we have GG replication on Prod so 
anything we do is subject to that.

  What would be your approach?

  My idea was rman duplicate, but those pci/pii tables rule this out.

Oh, GG cannot be used due to firewall restrictions, we only have database ports 
and SSH from Prod to QA

any ideas?
Alan.-
