RE: rollback segments during export

Yes, under CONSISTENT=N they are exported as separate transactions, under CONSISTENT=Y it is a large single transaction to keep read consistency across the entire export. Hence the redo generated is similar to a large report and read consistent views.

: If you specify CONSISTENT=N (the default), each table is usually exported : in a single transaction. However, if a table contains nested tables, th

Now it *could* be that I'm misreading the docs. It' been known to happen, but that sentence says to me that each table is exported as part of a single transaction.

Anyone have proof to the contrary? The tech writer is being rather ambigous, at least I think so.
