Re: import size problem ???

[JOE TESTA]

your export defaulted to compress=Y, if you didnt choose compress=n.   joe   >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 08/06/01 12:07PM >>> Hi all, I have an export file of 6M.  The import file only has DDL.  I imported the file into a db of about 1G. After import, the db became 6G !!!  There is one table with 71 columns, but NO DATA, takes 1.8G !!!  How does this happen, and how to make the objects claim the space. I issued Alter Table ... Deallocate Unused, but doesn't help.  Also how to prevent this from happening. Both the export and import database are 815 on Sun5.6. The export db has 8K block size, while import db has 2K. Here is the par file: USERID=arbor/arbor123 FROMUSER=ARBOR TOUSER=ARBOR COMMIT=TRUE IGNORE=TRUE FILE=arbor_full_20010726.dmp LOG=Afull.log Thank you!
