Hi,


I have a question on export dump file generation.

select sum(bytes)/(1024*1024*1024) "GB" from dba_segments where owner='JACK'; 


The above select query give the output of Schema size with 15 GB.

When i perform the same schema export, the dump file size generating is 2 GB.

Can somebody explain the difference between the two scenarios as how come there could be a variation in file size?


Thank you

Holes in the blocks, not used blocks and Oracle overhead.

And DBA_SEGMENTS will includes all kinds of segments including indexes.
While export will have only index definition which will be used to rebuild during import.

Very good information, never thought so deeply.
