If we use compress=y in export, it will compress the whole table table data into a single extent. if not, the table will be exported as is with same extent sizes.
you must be carefule to use compress=y. 'coz in the target, while doing import, your import may fail,if it doesnt find contiguous space to allocate such a big extent for that table.(if the source table is very big) eg: exported table size is 2 gig. Can your system find 2 Gig contiguous space in the target.? (as this is a single extent) HTH Srinivas -----Original Message----- Sent: Saturday, December 01, 2001 12:45 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L The compress=y compesses your brain while it exports, if you dont want you brain compressed then do compress=n. But if your brain is all ready in a compressed state, then they work the opposite. joe Alex Hillman wrote: > > Another one that apparently has access to e-mail but not to the internet to > RTFM :-) .
