Re: exp73 dumpparam for unlimited extents?

With compress=N, you will get essentially the same mish-mash of extents you had previously - unless you are importing into a LMT.

You have basically two options:

1. Pre-create the objects with a storage clause specifying the extent sizes you want - with initial and next the same size. Then import with ignore=Y. Of course, if you drop the users, you will have to recreate them before pre-creating the objects. This is the only option for dictionary-managed tablespaces to get uniform extents. (Hint: imp ... indexfile=somefilename.sql ..., edit somefilename.sql to (1) uncomment the create table statements and (2) modify storage clauses, then run somefilename.sql. If the export is large, you may wish to split this into two parts - one for the tables and one for the indexes and constraints. (It is a little more complicated than it might seem at first, but isn't too bad. One possible approach is to perform one export with rows=Y indexes=N constraints=N and another with rows=N indexes=Y constraints=Y. Details left as an exercise for the reader ;-)
2. Convert the tablespace(s) to LMT(s) with uniform extents - or drop and recreate them as such - prior to the import.

In the vast majority of cases, (2) is preferred.

Hello,

Running Oracle 7.3.4.4 on Win2k.
Trying to implement unlimited extents of the same size. (Same size works for us).
Set the tablespace defaults
Dumped the users
Dropped the users
Imported the users

Tables still had the same mish-mash of extents and max extents 121

Here are my dump params
USERID = system/************@******
FILE = c:\dumps\test.dmp
LOG = c:\dumps\test.log
FULL = Y
buffer=1000000
consistent=y
compress=n

That did not work so I tried dumping an individual user USERID = system/*****@*******
FILE = c:\dumps\test.dmp
LOG = c:\dumps\test.log
FULL = N
COMPRESS = N
owner=restek

Still get mish-mash extents on import.

The load was always:
USERID = system/******@*****
FILE = c:\dumps\test.dmp
LOG = c:\dumps\test.dmprs.implog
FROMUSER = restek
TOUSER = restek

My quick test of create table tmp_xyz as select * from xyz gives me the result I want.

Any suggestions? Do I have to wait until I upgrade to 8i or 9i?

TIA
