Diffrence for estimates size using query and for expdp

edited Oct 8, 2009 12:45AM in Database Utilities (MOSC) 2 commentsAnswered
 Hello
We have one large table with millions of rows and when we check size of this table using query as below

select sum(bytes)/1024/1024/1024 "size in GB" from user_segments where segment_name='MYTABLE';

we got expected size 17GB.

However, when we exported the table using EXPDP it showed estimated size as 34GB.

Can anyone help me identifying why the diffrence is there for expected tablesize in GB?

Note: Table consits of BLOB datatype column

Database version: Oracle10G
OS: Sun Solaris10

Thanks

Howdy, Stranger!
