Let me propose an elgant way to do it. I always use it when needing to
export a db on a host with scarce storage.
I run my expdp in network mode. With this setup, I connect to db 1 on
host 1 and create a link to db 2 on host 2 inside db 1. I then run expdp
on host 1 using parameter 'network=link_to_db2. This causes db2 to get
exported to a file on host 1 over the network.
There are may exciting manuevers you can perform with the 'netwoek'
params while importing or exporting.
You can actually exp/imp from/to local/remote without ever needing to
use a dump file.
Hope this helps

Subject: datapump export to pipe
Hi all,
Env: Oracle EE 10.2.0.4 RH 4.6
I'm doing exports to a filesystem with limited space so want to compress the
export on the fly, e.g.
.
.
cd $BACKUP_DIR
if [ ! -p $PIPE ] ; then
mkfifo $PIPE
fi
echo "gzipping from $PIPE ..."
nohup gzip -c < $PIPE > ${DMPFILE}.gz &
echo "expdp started ..."
expdp $CREDENTIALS \
DIRECTORY=DP_EXP_DIR \
DUMPFILE=$PIPE \
FULL=y \
LOGFILE=$LOGFILE
.
.
BUT,.. as you may have guessed, my plan is flawed as expdp doesn't allow
writing to a file that already exists, and of course the pipe must (exist
that is)
Does anyone have a work around for this (that doesn't involve upgrading to
11g, buying new disks, exporting to a different dir)
Thanks in advance
Tony
