Michael - Import tries to create each table. If the table already exists,
you get an error. IGNORE=Y just tells import to ignore this error.
If you try to import into a table that already has data, import will
still try to insert data in that table. Most likely you'll receive a
blizzard of ORA-0001 errors.
Get a list of all tables and then list all tables you want to import into
in a TABLES statement in your import parameters file. You can generate a
list of tables in SQL*Plus by
select table_name||',' from user_tables;

Subject: Saving a group of tables on a database refresh
HP-UX, Oracle 8.1.7.
To refresh the test databases we drop all tables and then import.
We have a request to not blow off or change all tables that start with
"OPB_".
I can NOT purge them, but purge everything else. If I use the
"ignore=n", will it then leave the OPB_ tables untouched?
I know what it's supposed to do, but has anyone done this in real life
with success?
Thanks.
