Hi,

There is a Database which have more than 4 TB data in development and test phases, Now, Database should be cleaned for using in production environment.
Is sufficient that only truncate tables?
What should be done in this situation?

Many thanks in advance.
Regards.

You should have the scripts to create the users, their objects and privileges and so on, so the fastest clean way will be to drop the database and recreate it.

If you TRUNCATE "lookup" table, it will most likely break the application.

. . . and once you follow the advice of others and get your 'clean' database, you might be well advised to use rman to take an offline, archival backup of it, so that you can fall back to that at any time.

As far as I understood, that's the only database you have. Does it mean that further development and testing is stopped? Because, are you really going to use the same database for that purposes? If so, is it a good idea? Why don't you have a separate database(s)?

Same database will be created before moving database to production environment for further development on test server.

That's a confusing statement. You cannot create the "same" database. You can create a new database with the same name, structure, and data, but it will have a different dbid, and it will be a different database. Please clarify your usage of the current database (the one you want to "clean") and future copies/replicas/duplications of that database.

Yes, that is true.

I mean that just same structure. Some change will be applied on test database (for example add/modify a procedure), after that it will be applied on production database.
