Re: UNIX 2 gig size limit.

You can get around the oracle export limit or 2 gig by creating a named pipe and exporting to it while dumping the data in the pipe to a tape or other device. This should allow you to export up to 4 gig on a 2.6 Solaris machine. Note that in order to import the data again you will need to do the same thing and that you are well advised to confirm your exports by importing them before you declare success.
