From Alex.Hillman@usmint.treas.gov Thu, 16 Aug 2001 08:02:20 -0700 From: "Hillman, Alex" Date: Thu, 16 Aug 2001 08:02:20 -0700 Subject: RE: Re[2]: Datafile Migration Tool Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain "Imports/exports only use about 1/10 of your available sustained io generally. Although direct exports are noticably faster and less stress on the database." And why do we need to read this? "Locking, rollback generation, constraints, triggers can affect the performance of the import/export process as well. Also network io if it isn't a local export/import." Again - why do we need to read this? Any person even little knowlegeble in Oracle DBA knows this "Direct path exports do not effect the speed of imports. Unless your using SQLLDR direct. Direct path exports only effect the speed in which the export is created and the resources it uses." SQLLDR cannot use sxport dump file as a source "Conventional exports are cpu bound, where direct path exports are io bound." Who told you so?

It all depends on how many indexes and constraints you have - these are what take the most time at import time. The data gets sucked in real fast. Using Direct Load really speeds the import up but, again, rebuilding the indexes takes forever. Gene is correct in that export is extremely fast.

How long do you think import will take for 200G database? - about 60 hours?

I know I can't take the datafiles from one of our HP-UX servers and use them to create a database on NT for instance. Wish I could for our Support Magic junk. In that case they do a bunch of things (like create objects) as SYS which never get included in an export. The problem that I see is that there is a toolset that currently exists, namely export & import, that work cross platform with no problems. Just not at the datafile level. And although that type of tool would be interesting to me it would not be of much value since I've only the one problem. Dick Goulet ____________________Reply Separator____________________ Author: "Rachel Carmichael" Date: 8/14/2001 12:41 PM it doesn't sound like an ftp type tool. If I am reading this correctly, he is proposing to provide a tool that copies datafiles directly from one OS to another. While this is an interesting trick, I'm not sure there's a large market for it. >From: Scott Shafer >Reply-To: ORACLE-L@fatcity.com >To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L >Subject: Re: Datafile Migration Tool >Date: Tue, 14 Aug 2001 12:00:53 -0800 > >Not to be a smartass, but don't most OS's already have ftp built in? >What kind of value-added are you proposing?
