Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Export / Import Question
Hi Ron,
If it's going to be an ongoing occurance you might want to consider Princeton Softech's "Relational Tools for Servers" suite. In particular, the Move for Servers product.
I use it to populate up to 20 different development / testing environments with a relationally intact subset of data from production. If your database has RI it's a breeze, but even if you don't have RI defined in the database (like we don't) then you just have to teach it the relationships once. Since our production environment is around 1.5TB, Move for Servers makes it a breeze to just extract a sample of 500 customers - enough to test almost all functionality but still nice and small.
I highly recommend this product - and they aren't even paying me to say that!
Regards,
Mark.

Please respond to
ORACLE-L
That would require effort and planning on their part.

Ron - You may want to ask yourself what you're getting into. My preference is that the developers be creating scripts to make their procedure, function, trigger changes, along with detailed instructions for installing them. I make my counteroffer that I will recover a copy of the production database from backup from them. Then they can run their scripts just like they or I am going to in production. On the other hand, if you have a lot of time on your hands, the challenge of just refreshing the data, disabling/reenabling constraints may amuse you for an afternoon. Just kidding, sort of.

I have a user who want to refresh only the DATA in a test database with DATA from the production database. He does not want to replace any procedures, functions, triggers, etc...
My question is, if I do a full or user level export, then turn around and do a full or user level import with IGNORE=Y (after truncating the tables) will the procedures, functions, triggers be replaced anyway? I have a feeling they will.
If so, is there any way to prevent this?
Thanks!
R Smith
