I need to do an import into a database that will include updated rows. What is the best way to do this ? Should we truncate or drop the affected tables first and then do the import ?

Hi,

Yes, you need to TRUNCATE or DROP the tables before re-importing them. If you don't, you might end up with duplicated rows.

Best regards.
