Dear All,
I have analyzed that, datapump estimation is 9.902GB. When i check size of .dmp file, it's shows 1.44Gb.

Estimate in progress using BLOCKS method...
Processing object type DATABASE_EXPORT/SCHEMA/TABLE/TABLE_DATA
Total estimation using BLOCKS method: [bold]9.902 GB [/bold]
Please let me know why it is happening? What's the reason behind it? Why Datapump estimate so much than actual size?
Eager to know the concept behind it.
Regards,
Ishika

Dear Michel,
Even i saw this in site.
BLOCKS The estimate is calculated by multiplying the number of database blocks used by the source objects, times the appropriate block sizes.
But my confusion is-
I have not used compression parameter in expdp, then why there is so much differences between estimation and actual one? If, it is internal calculation by oracle and difficult to know about the calculation then my question is wrong.
Regards,
Ishika
