Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> export WITH compress
Hi,
doing an export of my 8.1.7.1 DB on AIX 433-09 will result in a file
greater than 1 GB. This seems to be larger than allowd.
So i defined export to use multiple output files with a maximum size
of 500M each. Now it works, producing 3 files.
The first version of my export script does a compress after the export
has finished to save disk space.
How can i compress (or zip or gzip, whatever gives better results)
while export is still running, so file1 is compressed before or while
export writes to file2 ?
Maybe this could be done by a 'pipe' ? But i've never used a pipe
in unix!
Many thanks
Andreas
