Another option is to list multiple *dmp files in the FILE parameter; ie FILE=(file1.dmp, file2.dmp, ...)
along with the FILESIZE parameter. When the file1.dmp reaches the size specified in FILESIZE, then file2.dmp
is created, and so on. The trick is to list enough files in the FILE parameter to complete the export.

Yes, I have a 4.5G export file on a Solaris box.

Have your System Admininstrator check to ensure the filesystem you are writing the export file to is configured for "large files".

Once you've verified that, then you can export (or import) via a named pipe. See Note #30528.1 or one of many other Metalink notes. If named pipes are not sufficient for your export you may also use the combination of named pipe and "file= & filesize=" parameters.

Hi,

I am reading the following doc:

Oracle9i
Release Notes
Release 2 (9.2.0.1.0) for Sun Solaris (32-bit) April 2003
Part No. A97348-04

and I found that it says the Import/Export file is limited to 2,147,483,647
Bytes (see below). Does this mean the max dump file size. I don't have 9i to
try now, but has anyone have dump file size bigger than 2G in this situation?

The following table lists the Oracle file size limits. Block size is defined
in
the db_block_size parameter of the
$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/initsid.ora file.

File Type Maximum Size in Bytes
data file with block size 2048 8,589,932,544 data file with block size 4096 17,179,865,088 data file with block size 8196 34,359,730,176

data file with block size 16,384 68,719,460,352
data file with block size 32,768 137,438,920,704
Import/Export file 2,147,483,647

SQL*Loader file 2,147,483,647

File Type Maximum Size in Bytes
