Ron - You may want to ask yourself what you're getting into. My preference is that the developers be creating scripts to make their procedure, function, trigger changes, along with detailed instructions for installing them. I make my counteroffer that I will recover a copy of the production database from backup from them. Then they can run their scripts just like they or I am going to in production. On the other hand, if you have a lot of time on your hands, the challenge of just refreshing the data, disabling/reenabling constraints may amuse you for an afternoon. Just kidding, sort of.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, January 09, 2004 8:09 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I have a user who want to refresh only the DATA in a test database with DATA from the production database. He does not want to replace any procedures, functions, triggers, etc... My question is, if I do a full or user level export, then turn around and do a full or user level import with IGNORE=Y (after truncating the tables) will the procedures, functions, triggers be replaced anyway? I have a feeling they will. If so, is there any way to prevent this? Thanks! R Smith -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Smith, Ron L.
