Patrice - That would be correct. If you run export interactively, the prompt that is provided is "compress extents (y/n)". Dennis Williams

I don't know whether this is a tangent, but I notice that on the windows platform, "compressed" exports can still get 85% compression when zipping them with WinZip.

Obviously Oracle "compressed=y" doesn't mean "compress the export file", it just means that it places all the segments contiguously in the export file.

Right?
