    Export/Import issues

    I am attempting to export a table,change a couple of data types the import the table. I am getting variuos errors (on the import) Oracle 1401,ORACLE 2298. What I think I need to do is export the data,drop the table, run script to recreate the table with the changes to the data type then import the data only. What setting in IMPORT allows you to only imort the data?

    Talking Ignore it?

    Try:

    IGNORE=Y

    and if you are using impdp then ...

    table_exists_action=ignore

    also need to double check the data type changes. if you reduce the value for ex. varchar2(20) to varchar2(10) import will fail.

    I am changing the data type from FLOAT(126) to VARCHAR(20) would that cause a problem?
