I'm curious, which would be quicker? (Win2K OS)
Taking a full export from a database on a source machine with 1GB/RAM & older processor, then moving that .dmp file to the target machine over the network? (i.e drag & drop)
or...
Creating a value in tnsnames.ora so I can export the source database from the target machine with 8GB/RAM & newer processor?
Would there be any difference in speed between the file drag & drop vs. exporting over the network? (assuming of course all factors are identical for both scenarios)
Thanks!

I have found that exporting using a TNS entry, even if the database is on the same machine, can be up to tenfold slower (but always slower) than doing an export with just a username and password.
An ftp of that file, or zipping the file, doing an ftp and then unzipping was much less time for me.
So, I would do the export locally and then copy the file and do not use a TNS entry for the export.
