Listers,
I have a table of 125M rows (not partitioned) which I am exporting. I
want to break the export into 4 dmp files using the query command on the
pk column.
I am looking at how the best way of finding the values of the PK (number) which are at 25%, 50% and 75% ish for the table so that I can get 4 evenly sized exports
My query line in the parameter file will be along the lines of where
1) log_no < xx 2) log_no >= xx and < yy 3) log_no >= yy and < zz 4) log_no >= zz
I am thinking of a sql something like the following
Select /*+ index ffs(table_name index_name) */
Log_no , floor(log_no / 4), count(*)
>From table_name group by floor(log_no / 4), log_no
Version is 8.1.7.1
Can anybody help please
Thanks
John
