Q: export/import many files over 2GB limit

Hi

I'm using Oracle 8.1.7 on Linux.

I want to export the full database, which has a size of 10 GB. Running export with parameter file to create files under the 2GB file limit works. But right now there not enough space to create all files.

compress < pipename > newfilename.Z &

rm -f pipename

But how to with oracle parameter file a Received on Wed Jun 11 2003 - 07:46:11 CDT
