This
came up a few weeks ago and as I recall there was no firm
answer.

I
always work on a theory of about 20-25% of the space used (i.e sum of all
the datafiles minus sum from dba_free_space)

export with filesize option, dump file size estimation
any idea on how to estimate the export dump
file size without doing an actual export (not even to /dev/null)?
the idea is to use filesize option of
export utility to export db to several files. <FONT

thanks, bill
