Table data are allways quirous part of synchro.

On link:

www.toadworld.com/…/21277.aspx

there was a way how to refresh one table.

As stated on previous post, for whole schema the best way to synchro is

expdp /as sydba SCHEMA=xxx

and then

impdp TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION=REPLACE

this will replace whole records.

Be aware that in this way you will NOT replace database code (proc/pckg/fnc/types etc). For that you need to drop and recreate schema …

Let us know is that satisfy you or you need more info

I like to use Toad’s datapump interface for refreshing a test db with a prod db.

Before dropping the to-be-refreshed schema, I right-click it and get the sql for recreating it, before the datapump import and remapping.
