Depends on the version.  If "traditional" import (imp.exe), you cannot replace 
a table if it already exists; you can only insert the export file's data into 
it (ignore=y) IF the structure is identical.

With 10g impdp you have the option of TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION=REPLACE.

I've RTFMd but still not clear on this....when doing a user import can I get
import to destroy/overwrite the existing objects owned by that user?
