Essentially both are same, however one may adopt different methods for doing it. Database refresh can be done using DB utilities like RMAN, backup/restore scripts or even exp/imp whereas database cloning may involve automated scripts for cloning a target DB from a source database.

RE: what is the difference between database refresh an...
Generally a database refresh is done on the same server. A database refresh is just like defragmentation in windows so that the space can be utilized more efficiently and performance also improves since the data of a segment is brought into a single extent.

Generally cloning is done on 2 servers, one will have the database and the other will be used for creatng the clone database. here we are creating a replica of the current database whereas in database refresh we're just refreshing the current database.

Plz tell me if i'm wrong.

Thanks & regards
Prem
