Thanks Prasad. I have looked in Metalink but could not find anything that relates exactly to my situation - as I mentioned before, I can't see any non-idle wait in either v$session_wait or v$session_event. But I'll try tracing the session to see if that helps (though I still can't figure out why I can't see the session waiting on anything). If, as you said, the session was hanging while trying to read a table, wouldn't I see at least some db file reads ? In your case how did did you find that the session was waiting on that particular event ?

What we found was, export process was hanging when it was reading one of the system table (in our case, it is SYS.EXU8REFIC). When we saw the execution plan, it is using ALL_ROWS (there are no stats on sys objects but still it is doing ALL_ROWS). We recreated the view with RULE hint and export worked without any problems. I also did research in metalink and I found that the same solution was given to similar questions by oracle tech support. If you have access to metalink, please search with 'export hung' and you will get related information. hope this helps.

Tried it several times, but the export seems to get stuck at different points each time. The strange part is that at this point v$session_event shows absolutely nothing happening - all the wait numbers just freeze indefinitely and v$session_wait shows a 'SQL*Net message from client' wait - the session seems to be doing nothing at all.

Tried different export modes and parameters (full, owner, tables, buffer, direct, etc.) but with the same result. I'm pretty new to this site, but I'm told that this problem's been there for some time now but was never really taken seriously since we don't take regular exports. I'm about to raise a TAR on this one, but any pointers before that would be useful. TIA, Mandar.
