Yes Bradd, I am sure it is importing table statistics because out put on terminal as well as tail of datapump log file stays at following statement for more than 4 hours. Processing object type DATABASE_EXPORT/SCHEMA/TABLE/STATISTICS/TABLE_STATISTICS At that point tables were already imported (again confirmed by the output of a command) What puzzles me is importing tables took less than an hour while statistics import took more than four hours.

I would hit ctrl-c and type in 'status' to see what it is doing.

Datapump export took about 15 minutes. Problem is with datapump import. Tables and indexes gets imported within reasonable time (about hour) but table statistics takes very long time. Import process stays at following for about more than three hours Processing object type DATABASE_EXPORT/SCHEMA/TABLE/STATISTICS/TABLE_STATISTICS Is there any way to exclude table statistics? (similar to STATISTICS=N in old export) Any help is appreciated. Thank you Mayen
