Hi:

I need to refresh two tables of my "development" database from the "production" database.

How can I do the export of this two tables from production to a .dmp file and import them in development.

Can you please let me know the script for the export and import with the required parameters.

Any help on this would highly be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
Arpit.

This is all stuff you'll have to test. Until you are sure, take a backup of the target DB.

The idea is to truncate the target table(s) which you will re-populate. Disable any Referential constraints to those tables first.

Using export, export the selected tables:
exp scott/tiger@db123 tables=(emp, dept)

Unising import, load the data into the existing truncated tables, ignoring any errors when imp tries to create the table which is already there:
imp scott/tiger@xyz file=myfile.dmp ignore=yes

type imp help=y or exp help=y for syntax.
