Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Exp Imp Overwirte posiible or not?
Hi ,
destroy=y option doesn't meet the requirement . I checked the oracle docs
and didn't find any option to overwrite data.I think i have to truncate
data and then insert into appropriate tables as william pointed out.
Thnaks to every one who responded.
