How does one overcome the Unix 2 Gig file limit?

Posted on 23-Aug-2005 By Admin No Comments on How does one overcome the Unix 2 Gig file limit?

This example uses the Unix split command to create multiple files, each smaller than the Unix (and imp/exp) 2 Gigabyte file size limit. This method can typically be used for import, export and SQL*Loader operations.

cd /tmp/data

rm exp.dmp

mknod exp.dmp p # mkfifo on certain Unix flavours

split -b2047m exp scott/tiger file=/tmp/data/exp.dmp record=n tables=tableX

cd /tmp/data

rm exp.dmp

mknod exp.dmp p

cat xaa xab xac xad >/tmp/data/exp.dmp &

imp scott/tiger file=/tmp/data/exp.dmp commit=y tables=tableX

Linux/Unix, shell
