Hi,
I exported/imported a full database using pipes from Sun OS to HP-UX.
The export completed successfully without warnings and import as well but with minor warnings which we can ignore.
But when i check the source database.
SQL> select sum(bytes)/(1024*1024*1024) from dba_segments;
SUM(BYTES)/(1024*1024*1024)
---------------------------
104.613647
Target database after import.
SQL> select sum(bytes)/(1024*1024*1024) from dba_segments;
SUM(BYTES)/(1024*1024*1024)
---------------------------
83.3868408
Could you explain me why it has been reduced? or
Is there any problem with my export and import?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Michel for your reply.
Could you please explain me with some more details.
Because db_block_size is same for both the databases.
i.e. 8192
Source:
SQL> show parameter block
NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- -----------------------------
db_block_buffers integer 85000
db_block_checking boolean FALSE
db_block_checksum boolean TRUE
db_block_size integer 8192
db_file_multiblock_read_count integer 8
SQL>
Target:
SQL> show parameter block
NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
db_block_buffers integer 0
db_block_checking string FALSE
db_block_checksum string TRUE
db_block_size integer 8192
db_file_multiblock_read_count integer 8
Regarding other parameters you mentioned, Could you provide me any sql that shows me the differences on these instances.
Thanks & Best Regards

In addition to Michel's reply:
Different extent allocation type/size
Sparse storage in SOURCE database due to deletions over time
Many more. I'd ignore it unless you find missing objects.
