Hi,
  i wanted to take the compressed export using expdp. Which we do similar for export

Like,

     mknod exp_pipe p
     gzip < exp_pipe > stgdb1.exp.gz &
     expdp username/pwd DUMPFILE=exp_pipe DIRECTORY=tmpdmp  full=y  logfile=

entire.log

But the last command comes out with the error,  xport: Release 10.1.0.4.0 - 64bit Production on Friday, 03 February, 2006 13:48
