ORA-39152: Table exists

Posted on by Osama Mustafa in Database
Error :

ORA-39152: Table exists. Data will be appended to existing table but all dependent metadata will be skipped due to table_exists_action of append.

Cause :

Using APPEND to import the existing tables, as to not overrite them gives the following error:

Solution :

Truncating the table preserves the structure of the table for future use, so you are seeing this error message because there is a constraint or index in place.

To get around this you can use the following DataPump import parameters:

CONTENT=DATA_ONLY TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION=APPEND EXCLUDE=INDEX,CONSTRAINT

Thank you
