Re: Full export on a 10G DB with 2G Unix FS limit?

Hi Mike,

Exp is not able to write to stdout !?!
you can export into a pipe and start a compress or gzip which gets their data from thr pipe and write a compressed file. Please mail for details.
You get very good compression ratios.

In some exp versions you can give /dev/rmt0 (for example for AIX) to go directly to tape. See you platform specific manual about this feature.

Hope this helps,

Toni
