Yes, I have a 4.5G export file on a Solaris box.

Have your System Admininstrator check to ensure the filesystem you are writing the export file to is configured for "large files".

Once you've verified that, then you can export (or import) via a named pipe. See Note #30528.1 or one of many other Metalink notes. If named pipes are not sufficient for your export you may also use the combination of named pipe and "file= & filesize=" parameters.

To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L 9i on Sun Solaris (32-bit)?

Hi,

I am reading the following doc:

Oracle9i
Release Notes
Release 2 (9.2.0.1.0) for Sun Solaris (32-bit) April 2003
Part No. A97348-04

and I found that it says the Import/Export file is limited to 2,147,483,647
Bytes (see below). Does this mean the max dump file size. I don't have 9i to
try now, but has anyone have dump file size bigger than 2G in this situation?

Guang



The following table lists the Oracle file size limits. Block size is defined
in
the db_block_size parameter of the
