I am doing some fairly large loads using expdp / impdp. i have been reading all sorts of things about these tools, but are there any hidden command line options that actually tell you if 'parallel' option I specified was utilized, and if so how well? or when it builds indexs etc, can it show which one it is building? there isn't much info in v$session_longops. This is on 10gr2 TIA Rjamya ---------------------------------------------- Got RAC?
