Thanks  

That works for tables, but I am also getting "already exists" errors on other objects (LIBRARY, TYPE and SEQUENCE, PACKAGE, FUNCTION, etc etc)  

Does this means these objects have not been imported?  

How can I ensure these objects are replaced?      

ORA-31684: Object type PACKAGE_BODY:"PRODUCER"."SERVER_JES_MONITOR" already exists

ORA-31684: Object type PACKAGE_BODY:"PRODUCER"."SERVER_JOB_RECEPTION" already exists

ORA-31684: Object type PACKAGE_BODY:"PRODUCER"."SERVER_LOGGING" already exists  

etc etc

________________________________

I want to use datapump export and import as simple method of backing up schemas in our development environments.   

i.e. to restore the schema to a previous state, I would import back into the same schema.   

If I do a full schema import using datapump, will the fact that the database objects already exist cause issues? Will data rows in tables be duplicated?   

Or is there a better way of backing up and restoreing a single schema?   

I do not want to drop the schema between doing the export and the import.
