Title: export with filesize option, dump file size estimation
This came up a few weeks ago and as I recall there was no firm answer.
 
Suggestions included summing the bytes from dba_extents where owner != 'sys' or guessing.
I always work on a theory of about 20-25% of the space used (i.e sum of all  the datafiles minus sum from dba_free_space)

Subject: export with filesize option, dump file size estimation

any idea on how to estimate the export dump file size without doing an actual export (not even to /dev/null)?
the idea is to use filesize option of export utility to export db to several files.
i am aware of using pipe/split to do large export.

thanks, bill
