Re: export file over 2 gig limit

Try this:

    make a pipe, export to it, compress/gzip the pipe output.

Export

1. mknod exp_pipe p
2. (cat exp_pipe |compress > myexportfile.dmp.Z &);exp prompt asking for export filename => exp_pipe

Import

1. (zcat myexportfile.dmp.Z > exp_pipe &);imp prompt asking for export filename => exp_pipe

If you need to go much bigger you can go to tape ... but it is slower. Thor HW
