Hello, Falcioni:

There are several ways to accomplish this.

One can use a named FIFO for the output of the export, with a compression pipeline at the opposite end.

I can't remember if it is available on AIX 4.1, but one can create a large-file-enabled JFS for files larger than 2GB. Don't forget to alter the ulimit fsize for larger files.

If you upgrade to Oracle 8.1.5, its export utility can create multiple (smaller) export files.

Regards,

Gary
