Are you sure about the statement that exp goes away with 11g?  

I've got a couple of 11g installations (11.1.0.7 in Itanium based HP-UX) and they all have 'exp'.  

I've not installed any 11.2 systems yet.  

Does exp go away with 11.2?

Not with 11g. Only imp is provided to allow loading old exp dmp files into the database. The exp utility is now history though I am sure a lot of sites running 10g and lower will still be using exp for a few more years.

	Actually, Oracle STILL PROVIDES regular export. So if you want to compress an export, you can use the regular export.
	
	If you have the space and time is an issue, then you have dp... 
	
	I don't think Oracle is an evil corporation that did this on purpose, I do think that oracle is a business and as such tries to make many any way it can.
	
	Anyway, I hate working with compressed export files, so I am happy that it can no longer be done with dp ^_^
