When we do a full import of a full export into a database, does it overwrite the existing objects or does it try to append the data?
Thanks

Hi,
It will normally try to append. Therefore, you need to drop/truncate all objects before doing the import.
If you don't like this behaviour, look at the DESTROY option (overwrite tablespace data files). Nevertheless, this is VERY DANGEROUS, and should be left to the senior DBA's.
Best regards.
Frank
