1 table_exists_action parameter description
When importing data using IMP, if the table already exists, drop the table before importing.
When using IMPDP to complete the database import, if the table already exists, there are four kinds of processing methods:
1) Skip: Default action
2) Replace: Drop table First, then create TABLE, and finally insert data
3) Append: Add data based on the original data
4) Truncate: Truncate first, then insert data
