Gawd! Don't you hate it when you forget to utter one lousy, stupid word and it changes the meaning of *everything*? Instead of: > How about if you send the export to a pipe and then have import read > directly from the pipe? That way, you never run into a file size issue > because you create a file. This should read: > How about if you send the export to a pipe and then have import read > directly from the pipe? That way, you never run into a file size issue > because you never create a file. ===== Hope this makes more sense now... -Tim ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
