Oracle support used to have a script which we bashed and used on NCR/AT&T. The strategy is to export to a FIFO special file and thence to compress.

I still have hardcopy of the original FAX from Oracle suport if they won't give it to you. If you're local to Cincinnati, email me at smoreland_at_lanvision.com, and I'll fax you a copy. Otherwise, send an SASE to:
