We have a cron job running that does a full export of our database. The
job uses a named pipe because uncompressed, the file size is greater
than 2 G, compressed it is normally .5G. When I looked at the results
of the export on Friday morning, I noticed that the compressed file size
was 1 G. I ran the export later in the day and the compressed file size
was still 1G. The export ran yesterday and its size was .5G again and
it is .5G again today. There have been no data loads/deletes and the
log files produced when the exports run indicate that there are no
problems. All exports have run successfully with no errors or
warnings. Does anyone know why the size of the files vary from .5G to
1G? We are on Solaris 2.51 and Oracle 7.3.2. thanks renee
