    Compressed Export file

    Dear sir,
    I'm running with Oracle 8.1.6 on RH Linux 6.2EE. My daily export dump files are very huge and my disk space fallen alarmingly low. I want to do a compressed export using gzip and split, as Linux 6.2 has a limitation in size of 2G per file. If Any one out here had already implemented the same, can you please post the script, here . Actually I wrote a small script but it is throwing errors:
    ERROR:
    split: /u09/mytools/expimp/expdmp.gz_: No such file or directory
    LRM-00118: syntax error at '=' at the end of input
    EXP-00019: failed to process parameters, type 'EXP HELP=Y' for help
    EXP-00000: Export terminated unsuccessfully

    Here is my Script:
    ====================
    # -- export_dl.sh:
    ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/8.1.6
    ORACLE_SID=cmsrpt1
    OUTPUT_FILE=/u09/mytools/expimp/expdmp.gz_
    export ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_SID OUTPUT_FILE
    #
    # Creation of a pipe for output of export
    rm -f /u09/mytools/expimp/p
    mkfifo -m 777 /u09/mytools/expimp/p
    # Start export
    #
    cat p|gzip |split -b 1000m ${OUTPUT_FILE} &

    #created an external user OPS$ORACLE inorder to protect
    #user ids and passwords.

    /opt/oracle/product/8.1.6/bin/exp / FILE=$p \
    PARFILE=/u09/mytools/expimp/testexportparam_dl

    # End export
    exit

    --testexportparam_dl:

    # -- exportparam_dl :
    LOG=/u09/mytools/logs/testexport_dl.log
    CONSISTENT=Y
    COMPRESS=N
    #OWNER=dloader
    TABLES=(d_claim,d_fintx)

    It would be a great help for me if any one can correct this script or send me their script which is implemented successfully. Because i need to productionalise this script by today evening.

    Many Thanks in advance

    Export through a named pipe.

    Just keep in mind you'll need to import via the pipe as well.
