Sherrie,
I'm afraid not. You might want to look into creating
your snapshots off of prebuilt tables. When the
snapshots are dropped the table is left so you could
perform DML on it. I haven't played around with them
enough yet to know if you'll need to do a complete
refresh if you drop the snapshot, perform DML, and
then recreate the snapshot on the prebuilt table.
HTH,
