I'm doing a DB conversion to 8.1.7 on W2000. I have converted the old tables / data to the new application on my conversion server. Now I have to load it onto a test server at a different site. I will be using tables= parameter to a select group of tables / data. I have not found the answers to my questions in the documentation.

Can I use Exp / Imp to just move the data? Or, does this utility move the data and the table structures?
The conversion DB that I have only has the tables, PK's, FK's, and indexes and no triggers, functions, cursors, etc. (they are created by another script). There is no application code attached to this DB. The DB I will be loading to is fully functional - all the PK's, FK's, triggers, functions, et al. Will loading the data from my conversion DB cause problems with the test DB?
I know I will have to disable the FK's on the test DB. But, what about the triggers on the applicable tables? Should they be disabled?

Anything else I need to know before I get rolling on this?

Thanks,
