Abstract
Aspects of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for managing conflicts in an import operation. The method includes one or more processors identifying a conflict in an import operation of an incoming set of data into an existing database, wherein the incoming set of data includes an incoming entry, and the existing database includes an existing entry that corresponds to the identified conflict. The method further includes one or more processors determining a probability to preserve the existing entry in the existing database based on a set of rules associated with the import operation. The method further includes one or more processors determining whether to overwrite the existing entry in the existing database with the incoming entry from the incoming set of data based on comparing the determined probability to a threshold probability.
