Yikes! And this is now Oracle's own OS... I'm truly glad we decided to ditch all Solaris stuff a few years ago and gone all AIX/Looneeks! Long before it all became Oracle.

Ball park what I get as well with AIX, 10.2.0.3 patched to the ears.

Haven't had a problem. In fact if anything, I'm impressed with datapump's performance and capability in AIX! Use it all the time now, instead of good ole exp/imp.
The only problem so far was a glitch that stopped sub-partitioned tables from being imported in both data mode and transportable ts mode. Quickly fixed by application of a patch that changed the XML skeleton used by the datapump mechanism. Received on Tue Jun 22 2010 - 08:30:14 CDT
