RE: Export / Import Question

Ron,

   I share your feeling. All stored objects are recreated with CREATE OR REPLACE - IGNORE=Y is inoperant for them. IMHO the best you can do is generate as many table-level exports as you have tables, with TRIGGERS=N. Of course, usual fun with constraints. On the bright side, you will be able to parallelize like crazy.   At this stage, dumping to a flat file and using sqlldr might be an even better option than imp/exp.
