Oracle-L: RE: Using Named Pipes on Windows

The windoze implementation of named pipes is very robust.

The problem is that MS chooses not to make those useful at the command line.

And that their implementation of the std C library is somewhat non-robust.

Thanks for the link, Raj. Will add to my list of limitations/problems when picking windoze as a db server.

Ciao

To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L The reason for using named pipes is speed, not disk space. Reading the import directly from a pipe is much faster then writing to disk and then reading the same data from disk. It doesn't matter now anyway, I've discovered that it cannot be done on windows. Yet another Windoze limitation. It's ridiculous.
