You could migrate the database to 8i, or you could use sql to split the table into 2GB and do the export in pieces, or you could just shut the database down and do a cold backup of the database, retaining any media you need to reinstall Oracle 7. Make sure if you are in archivelog mode that you backup all logfiles.

Hi DBAs,

Because of some requirements from one of our vendor, we still have a database running Oracle7.3.4 on WindowsNT and since this package is no longer used, so we want to export the content of this database. The database is around 60G, one table is 55G. So a simple export on release 7 will crash when I will get 2G of dump file.

The export utility for release 7 doesn't allow us to create multiple files, but the export utility for release 8 does. I know that they recommend to always use the lower version of export, but is there a way to use export 8i and create multiple files on a Oracle7.3.4 database?

If not, what can I do?

Thanks
Luc
