RE: Export taking to long

Mmmm. . . Ron - How long do you figure it would take you to re-import the 16-gig? Ever tried it? One thing I do is break the export by table so I get all the little tables, the ones I would have a hope of re-importing, into one export file.

I have an export of a 16G database that is consistently taking 6 hours to export.
It doesn't matter what time of the day or night the script is executed. There is
very little activity on the server. Any ideas?

#!/bin/ksh

export ORACLE_SID=adprod
export ORACLE_HOME=`grep $ORACLE_SID /etc/oratab | cut -d : -f2` PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:. export USERPASS=system/sysada2
#
# Create a new pipe each time
#

if [ -p exp_pipe_$ORACLE_SID ]

        then rm exp_pipe_$ORACLE_SID
fi
mknod exp_pipe_$ORACLE_SID p

OUTFILE="/oracle_dba/expimp/adprod/adprod_exp_full_`date '+%m%d%y'`.dmp.Z" LOGFILE="/oracle_dba/expimp/adprod/adprod_exp_full_`date '+%m%d%y'`.log"
#
# Begin compress job and export to pipe with userid and password hidden
#

compress < /oracle_dba/expimp/adprod/exp_pipe_adprod > $OUTFILE & exp $USERPASS full=y compress=n consistent=y recordlength=65535 direct=y file=/oracle_dba/expimp/adprod/exp_pipe_adprod log= $LOGFILE Ron Smith
