Hi,

I have a question on export dump file generation.

Code: [Select all] [Show/ hide]

select sum(bytes)/(1024*1024*1024) "GB" from dba_segments where owner='JACK';

The above select query give the output of Schema size with 15 GB.

When i perform the same schema export, the dump file size generating is 2 GB.

Can somebody explain the difference between the two scenarios as how come there could be a variation in file size?

Thank you

Holes in the blocks, not used blocks and Oracle overhead.

And DBA_SEGMENTS will includes all kinds of segments including indexes.
While export will have only index definition which will be used to rebuild during import.
