impdp skip data on 2 tables

in Database Administration (MOSC) 4 commentsAnswered

This is probably an easy question, but how can I do an impdp that imports everything, but skips the data in two huge tables? Can I put something in my par file that will do this?

Currently, I use impdp to refresh our test databases. First, I drop all the schemas I'm rebuilding and use impdp to recreate those schemas with all their objects. I have a couple "warehouse" tables that have 500,000,000 records that I don't really need. We'll call them SCHEMA1.INVENTORY_TRANSACTION_ARCHIVE and SCHEMA1.SHOP_ORDER_ARCHIVE.

I want the structure for those tables, but don't need to waste resources and time importing. I've actually struggled with the imports lately after one of those tables got huge. The time went from 3 hours to 3 days.

Howdy, Stranger!
