Full Import over existing DB

Hello,

Can a full import be run over an existing database? I am wanting to bring my test database up to date with the production database.

Thanks.

Yes, run as user system and compile the invalid objects. you will be fine.

Hallo
you make a full export under
exp user/pwd file=xxx.dmp log=xxxx.log

and the other commands are optionally
full=y raws=y indexes=y owner=y


and the you import the data in you database under following commands.
imp user/pwd file=export.dmp ignore=y

This is the simple commands. You can better export your data and with another export your indexe.
So so they come again into your db.
