Can you suggest how to prevent duplicate rows while in situations where multiple refreshes from a single export file using Oracle 8.1.7?

Do i need to specify Commit=Y, Constraints= N and IGNORE=N while importing data?

Your suggestion would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

You cannot prevent Import from inserting data.
Oracle will append by default.
If there is a constraint (primary / unique) defined on table and if it violates,then the import will fail.

I cannot visualize any such 'situation'.
You are supposed to clean all the data before import.
