Other than a flashback database - which (assuming you have lots of free disk space) does the lot, not just selected ones - I know of no other way than good old export/imp. Or a recovery from backup. One thing I do is to have our DR system ready to go. If a table or two are lost from production or test by an errant script, I can always wind up the DR system and copy/exp-imp the missing tables from there. Received on Sat Mar 26 2011 - 23:19:41 CDT
