Dennis, Amar -

My interpretation of the environment was that dev/test has a different set of tables, some of the tables match production table names but may not have the same columns or data. In this case, my first suggestion to drop matching table names from dev/test is insufficient. Maybe truncating those tables would be a better approach. Copying/cloning production would, of course, wipe out dev/test. If there is ongoing development there, that would be a problem ;)

Amar - I was just thinking about suggesting. And as a bonus, you can test your backups, always a good idea.

You will need to apply the structural changes before importing for existing tables. If you want to make a test db as copy of original one try cloning! It is easy and quick.
