I need to put together a plan to execute some change scripts to a Oracle 10g database, which will add some values, change some values a drop a table and create a new table.
I have a step for creating a DMP of the original database before the changes and for running a script that will execute all the changes.
But I need a back-out plan if things go wrong.
I was wondering what is the bets step(s) to drop the database and import the old DMP file?
I know about the sqlplus command:
imp <touser>/<password>@<host_address>/<service> file=<filename>.dmp fromuser=<fromuser> touser=<touser> log=backup_import.log
But what is the best way to drop the existing database? Is it just
drop user <schema_user> cascade;
Thanks in advance.
