Re: Export and Import and Referential Integrity Constraints

True --
However, not fully knowing every intricate detail in how Oracle Exports and Imports, would disabling the constraints before exporting then allow the import?
What I am asking, is would the export push the constraints as disabled, and then import then disabled as well?

I'll start digging thru docs, but thought I would ask here as well.
