Well then - if you drop a production data table by mistake (a several
milion
records table is not likely to be a non-production data table IMHO),
then
how does an export from the night before (up to 24 hours old) help the
situation ? Wouldn't it be likely that constraints etc. would be all
messed
up, or that data would be inconsistent if constraints are not used.
