Hi,
I usually performs the following to defragment an Oracle database
* full database export
To save space I use a pipe : the Oracle Export sends its data to a unix pipe and a compress command reads data from the pipe and puts it into a file. e.g. :
mknod mypipe p
compress < mypipe > expdat.dmp.Z &
exp file=mypipe
To reimport I do the following :
imp file=mypipe &
uncompress < expdat.dmp.Z > mypipe
Unfortunately, the last time I defragmented our dev database I got the "corrupt input" message while reimporting the data.
I have tried a zcat but I only get 8 megs from the 50 megs compressed file.
Does anybody knows how to recover the compressed file ?
Tx.
Sylvain.
