Re: Nothing works => Import using multiple compressed files ?!!

I've imported using +7Gb dump files without any issue related to file size.

My opinion is that the command:

$cat `echo $DUMPDIR/vald2000_NGE_1904_05162006_*.dmp.gz | sort` |gunzip > /VMP1/archive/ngepipe.dmp &

is 'piping' two commands before getting the input file for import; my command uses only output redirection, furthremore I'm not sure of how cat and echo are working against gz files, I use directly gunzip (or gzip -d) for opening those files. Have you tried with the procedure I explained?

Alessandro
