RE: What makes Export slow ?

Using a large buffer size allows more data to be written via export (a C Program) from the database to a file. The buffer specifies the size of each write to the database.

Direct=Y was added in Oracle7 and allows export to bypass the SQL communication layer and write data from the database to the export file. Generally this is used to speed up exports, however, there have been issues with constraints, etc.

Large rollback segment option can only be used if you can really assure that no one is using the database and you can disable all other rollback segments. Otherwise, this option is useless.

Thank You

What do you mean "assigning the big rollback segment?" How do you do that to an export and what does it accomplish?

What does COMMIT=Y do in an export?

If I were the original poster, I'd just look at v$session_event for the export session after several minutes of slowness.
