FYI, if you're using
conventional path for your exports with
Oracle 8.1.7.3 or 8.1.7.4, be wary - there's a
bug
that could silently corrupt some data in your exports.
According to Oracle:
Versions Affected:
8.1.7.3, 8.1.7.4, 9.0.1.2, 9.0.1.3, 9.0.1.4
Versions NOT affected:
8.1.7.0, 8.1.7.1, 8.1.7.2, 9.0.1.0, 9.0.1.1, 9.2.0.1
There's a
patch
for this, but it sounds like the best workaround is to just always use
direct path exports, which are faster anyway.
