Does ImportObjects do anything with the underlying data?

[Jimbo213]

Someone here told me that when I import a TableObject from my DEV database
to PRODUCTION it will overwrite the production data.

Is that right or is my production data safe from being overwritten?

Thanks for your reply & assistance.

If you've got a table named TableA in your production database and you
import a table named TableA from your development database, the table will
get renamed when imported, so that you'll end up with TableA1in your
production database.

If you haven't got a table named TableA in your production database and you
import a table named TableA from your development database, you'll end up
with TableAin your production database.

No other table in the production database will be impacted.

Note that when you import a table, you have the option of importing the
table and its data, or just importing the design of the table.

Found the answer myself
See Import > Options center section is radio button to bring in table
structure only or both structure + data.
