We have ORACLE 10.2.0.2 on LINUX server. I saw ORACLE document say "expdp/IMPDP" performance a lot better than "exp/imp". I have been tried expdp/impdp schema and found "impdp" performace very slow (at least two to three times long than "imp"). When we do "impdp" it will stay on "Processing object type SCHEMA_EXPORT/TABLE/STATISTICS/TABLE_STATISTICS" for 20 -30 minutes. Does anyone know why? Thanks. ________________________________________________________________________ ____________ The fish are biting. Get more visitors on your site using Yahoo!
