Anyone here have a good method to determine the size of the
data in a table that includes a LONG RAW column?
Things I have tried:
Table statistics
Due to bug 58426286 no table with a LONG RAW column that is
analyzed with DBMS_STATS will get accurate statistics.
The workaround is to use 'ANALYZE...COMPUTE'
I find that to be inaccurate also. The stats suggested 50k rows with a 7k
avg
row length.
That would be about 35 meg.
I am exporting the table now, and the export file just hit 300 meg.
COPY command
I thought maybe the SqlPlus copy command would work, creating a
densely packed table.
COPY works with LONG, but not LONG RAW.
Currently I am doing an export, but some other method would be preferable.
Any ideas?
