Just one comment. Back on O7, some testing was done by one of the DBAs where I used to work. He determined that the consistency was within a schema, not the whole export. SO if you had cross references between schemas, you could experience problems on imports.
I don't know if this "functionality" continued to 8, 8i or 9i. -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, March 20, 2002 11:44 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi Ron: Comments inline HTH greetings Diego Cutrone ----- Original Message ----- To: "Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, March 20, 2002 1:18 PM > This has probably been discussed before but I would like to know if a full > database > export could affect either Oracle or server performance.

It means that the tables exported are consistent to each other. (The data within a table exported is always consistent independientely of the "consistent" option used.) > > Ron Smith > DBA > Kerr-McGee Corp > > -- > Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com > -- > Author: Smith, Ron L. > INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 > San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message > to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in > the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L > (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
