I have a window of 36 hours to do this. I'm planning to divide the database into multiple imports/exports and multi-tasks them. =3D20 Any ideas or tools out there that would be a better approach? =3D20 Your ideas/comments are appreciated. =3D20 Abraham Guerra American Family Insurance -- Binary/unsupported file stripped by Ecartis -- -- Type: image/jpeg -- File: Notebook.jpg -- Desc: Notebook.jpg ---------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
