Does the size problem also preclude piping the export into an import?

Are you planning to partition the table on the new database?
You could break the table into different tables on the 7.3 database, 
        export them separately 
        and then import each partition separately.

Subject: &^@#%$@#%$ stinkin' oracle7 database


I've got a table in an Oracle7.3 database (that I'm finally getting
to upgrade and I'm trying to figure out how to get the data from
the old DB over to the new DB on the new server.

1) table is too big to export (even sending the export to a pipe and =
thence
to a compress)
2) table contains a long raw, so I cannot use the sqlplus COPY command
3) table contains a long raw, so I cannot do INSERT INTO <DBLINKED =
TABLE> SELECT * FROM...
4) table contains a long raw, so dumping to a flat file and re-inserting =
using
sqlplus will not work.

Other than writing a Pro*C program to do it myself, how can this data be =
moved?
