Using the Restoring Selected Objects option can produce different results, depending on whether the restore job is at table level or database level.
| Restore Job Level | Results |
|---|---|
| Table-level restore job | The dictionary and data are deleted. The dictionary is restored first, then the data. If the table was renamed or re-created, the restore job will fail.
|
| Database-level restore job with no tables that have been created since the backup image | The objects are deleted, then restored from the backup image. |
| Database-level restore job with new tables that have been created since the backup image | The new tables are removed and lost. All tables that existed in the database at the time of the backup image creation are restored in the same manner as a table-level restore. New tables are not removed if you inserted an EXCLUDE command in the ARC syntax for those tables.
