Another option is to list multiple *dmp files in the FILE parameter; ie FILE=(file1.dmp, file2.dmp, ...) along with the FILESIZE parameter. When the file1.dmp reaches the size specified in FILESIZE, then file2.dmp is created, and so on. The trick is to list enough files in the FILE parameter to complete the export.

Yes, I have a 4.5G export file on a Solaris box. Have your System Admininstrator check to ensure the filesystem you are writing the export file to is configured for "large files". Once you've verified that, then you can export (or import) via a named pipe. See Note #30528.1 or one of many other Metalink notes. If named pipes are not sufficient for your export you may also use the combination of named pipe and "file= & filesize=" parameters. Carol -----Original Message----- Guang Mei Sent: Monday, October 06, 2003 4:04 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L 9i on Sun Solaris (32-bit)? Hi, I am reading the following doc: Oracle9i Release Notes Release 2 (9.2.0.1.0) for Sun Solaris (32-bit) April 2003 Part No. A97348-04 and I found that it says the Import/Export file is limited to 2,147,483,647 Bytes (see below). Does this mean the max dump file size. I don't have 9i to try now, but has anyone have dump file size bigger than 2G in this situation?
