On our systems, I use RMAN to refresh a dev database from production. Then the
developers apply their change scripts to move the objects to the next release
level.

That's the requirement as the pl/sql code is still in the testing stage at lower
levels and is not yet approved to moved to production.

Chugh,



My requirements is also similar where I have to refresh the lower regions
(databases - development,system,acceptance etc.) from production data but not
the functions,procedures,packages etc. very frequently. I use exp, and imp data
after disabling triggers,fk constraints and truncating tables. 




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.
