    Not that I know of, you can do a..
    SQL>insert into as select from

    Or just re-name the table after import, no?

    If you exported a table OLD_TABLE and wanted to import it as NEW_TABLE, then you might try pre-creating NEW_TABLE, then putting a view on it as ...

    CREATE VIEW OLD_TABLE AS SELECT * FROM NEW_TABLE

    ... and running a conventional path import, making sure to set it to ignore errors on import.

    This sort of thing can also work for importing into a table having a different column list.
