Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: using pipe to export oracle on windows platform
Nuno
Zhu wants to reduce his network traffic when he sends the compressed
file to Solaris. I didn't read his question well enough, I see now. I
now have to admit that my 'shared-through-samba-unix-pipe' idea won't
help him either in reducing network traffic. Unskyld for wasting
precious bandwidth with my non-solution.
Regarding the Windows compressed folder: If you copy/ftp/whatever-you-do the file from the compressed windows disk to the Solaris destination, Windows will decompress the file for you before sending it over the network. So, maybe I have to agree with you, you are confused, as I was ;-)
Best regards,
