Brian,

Excellent question, which no one has asked me before. Your steps are
almost perfect. Just add a step between 3 and 4 to change the default
tablespace of the user to DATA.

What export/import does is recreate all constraints, indexes, grants, and
statistics for the table.

What it does NOT do is recompile all procedures/views/packages that become
invalid when you drop the table. It also does not recreate all
FK constraints on other tables that were pointing to the dropped table.

To find all invalid objects:

select owner, segment_name, segment_type
from all_segments
where status = 'INVALID'
/

To recompile the invalidated objects:

alter procedure XXX compile;
alter view XXX compile;
alter package XXX compile;

To find all constraints pointing to the table (this must be done before
the table is dropped):

select * from all_constraints
where r_constraint_name in
     (select constraint_name from all_constraints
      where table_name = '***table_name***');

You will have to recreate all constraints by what is returned from the
above query.
