Re: Data Pump and compression

If you've found a way to do this with datapump, I'd love to see it. (10gR2 that 
is).
Datapump requires directory objects to be created, and is run as a job on the 
database. It doesn't have the same shell interaction like 'exp' and 'imp'

Shrinking the metadata wouldn't help a lot, its just not that big.

We export through a pipe and use gzip to compress it, and get pretty
good compression of standard export files,  I expect it would work with
datapump files also if you are only using one output file.
