A DBA at my account generally likes to re-create databases from scratch
to do a re-org, and can afford to do so because the databases are a
couple of Gigs
at best. I'm wondering though about doing full imports as sys or
system.
All of my exports are done with compress=Y, and when I drop users
cascade,
I've had no problem re-importing a full export file to do the job. What
I'm wondering
though is, what's the diff between doing it as sys or system. I could
sware that even
if I do things as sys, I get messages to effect of " Not doing this,
object already exists",
meaning that stuff from running catproc, etc., a long time ago is still
there, so it's not
going to pop stuff on top of it. So if importing as either sys or
system does not engage
in a full replacement of the database (is that right?), then what's the
advantage of using
one or the other. I suspect sys will import sys's objects, and system
will not, but
neither option engages in a full replacement, does it?
