Re: from x86 -> alpha

Hi,

    Since you seem to be stuck with export/import be sure to try the DIRECT=Y option. If it will work for you it is much faster than the default conventional path. To give you an idea I got the following results this morning:

    Default (DIRECT=N) 13 minutes 34 seconds

    DIRECT=Y                      3 minutes 17 seconds

Environmental factors:

    Oracle 8.0.5 on Red Hat Linux 5.2
    200 MHz Pentium II 96MB RAM 6.2GB Disk

    The export file is just about 200MB in size

Not being a fan of export/import (primarily due to performance considerations) I was impressed.

regards

Jerry
