The advantage of cloning techniques compared to export/import is that you
receive an exact replica of the production system. Why would you want to
exclude functions, procedures, packages, etc.? The idea is that before a
change is promoted to production it is tested against a current copy of
production. The worst circumstance is that you promote something to
production only to discover after much anguish that production has a
different version of a function, procedure, package, or etc. than the test
database.
