And why do we need to read this?

Use the delete key, personally you can read what you like, judging

Use the delete key, again, I don't care what you read and what you
don't read.  That is your choice, the delete key is your choice.



"Direct path exports do not effect the speed of imports.  Unless your using
SQLLDR direct.  Direct path exports only effect the speed in which the

SQLLDR cannot use sxport dump file as a source 


Agreed.  Merely stating import speed is not effected by direct
exports.  Only direct sql loads using sqlldr is it's "import" speed
effected".   There is a lot of confusion that direct exports effect the
speed of the import as well.  This is false.



"Conventional exports are cpu bound, where direct path exports are io
bound."

Who told you so?

Alex,

It's tough to guess how long an import will take.  It all depends on how
many indexes and constraints you have - these are what take the most time at
import time.  The data gets sucked in real fast.  Using Direct Load really
speeds the import up but, again, rebuilding the indexes takes forever.

Gene is correct in that export is extremely fast.

Rachel,

I can see what he is proposing, but I'm not sure anyone would care.  I
know I can't take the datafiles from one of our HP-UX servers and use them
to create a database on NT for instance.  Wish I could for our Support Magic
junk.  In that case they do a bunch of things (like create objects) as SYS
which never get included in an export.  The problem that I see is that there
is a toolset that currently exists, namely export & import, that work cross
platform with no problems.  Just not at the datafile level.  And although
that type of tool would be interesting to me it would not be of much value
since I've only the one problem.

it doesn't sound like an ftp type tool. If I am reading this correctly, he 
is proposing to provide a tool that copies datafiles directly from one OS to

another.

While this is an interesting trick, I'm not sure there's a large market for 
it.

RE: Re[2]: Datafile Migration Tool

2001-08-16 Thread Mercadante, Thomas F

Alex,

It's tough to guess how long an import will take.  It all depends on how
many indexes and constraints you have - these are what take the most time at
import time.  The data gets sucked in real fast.  Using Direct Load really
speeds the import up but, again, rebuilding the indexes takes forever.

Gene is correct in that export is extremely fast.

Alex - you must be joking, 60hrs?  i get ~1gb/3mins for export. i haven't
done an import lately, but its not that bad.  exp/imp are great tools to
move data around.

Rachel,

I can see what he is proposing, but I'm not sure anyone would care.  I
know
I can't take the datafiles from one of our HP-UX servers and use them to
create
a database on NT for instance.  Wish I could for our Support Magic junk.  In
that case they do a bunch of things (like create objects) as SYS which never
get
included in an export.  The problem that I see is that there is a toolset
that
currently exists, namely export & import, that work cross platform with no
problems.  Just not at the datafile level.  And although that type of tool
would
be interesting to me it would not be of much value since I've only the one
problem.

it doesn't sound like an ftp type tool. If I am reading this correctly, he 
is proposing to provide a tool that copies datafiles directly from one OS to

another.

While this is an interesting trick, I'm not sure there's a large market for 
it.
