IMPDP UTILITY :- TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION =OPTIONS IN ORACLE

SKIP: Default value for this parameter is SKIP. This parameter is exactly same as the IGNORE=Y (If a table already exists and IGNORE=y, then rows are imported into existing tables without any errors or messages being given option in conventional import utility.

APPEND: This option appends the data from the data dump. The extra rows in the dump will be appended to the table and the existing data remains unchanged.


TRUNCATE: This option truncate the exiting rows in the table and insert the rows from the dump

REPLACE: This option drop the current table and create the table as it is in the dump file.
Both SKIP and REPLACE options are not valid if you set the  CONTENT=DATA_ONLY for the impdp.

Method to Import only rows does not exist in the target table See some examples here.This is my sample table employee
SQL> select * from employee;
EMP_NAME                             DEPT        SAL

2.TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION=APPEND
I have deleted and inserted 4 new rows into employee table. So as of now the rows the dump and table are different and I am going to import the dump with APPEND option.
SQL> delete from employee;
4 rows deleted.

SQL> insert into employee (select * from emp where dept>20);
4 rows created.

SQL> commit;

SQL> select * from employee;
EMP_NAME                             DEPT        SAL

8 rows selected.

3.TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION=TRUNCATE
Now let’s try with table_exists_action=truncate option. In truncate option it will truncate the content of the
existing table and insert the rows from the dump. Currently my employee table has 8 rows which we inserted last insert.
$  impdp directory=exp_dir dumpfile=emp.dmp logfile=imp1.log table_exists_action=truncate

John                                   20       6000

4.TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION=REPLACE

This option drop the current table in the database and the import recreate the new table as in the dumpfile.
impdp directory=exp_dir dumpfile=emp.dmp logfile=imp1.log table_exists_action=replace

Now if you check the last_ddl_time for the table it would be the same as the import time.
$ date
Wed May  2 00:58:21 EDT 2012

select OBJECT_NAME, to_char(LAST_DDL_TIME,'dd-mm-yyyy hh:mi:ss') created from dba_objects
where OBJECT_NAME='EMPLOYEE'
SQL> /
OBJECT_NAME          CREATED
