Dump file size is very big than the actual table and indexes size

Mahi123Aug 6 2015 — edited Aug 6 2015

Hi,

I exported one of the tables from my database.  When I found the size of the table and all it's dependent indexes combined is of 760M size. But the dumpfile of the same table is of 48G size which is very big.

Any idea why the dump file is that much bigger than the actual table+indexes size?

Thanks,

Mahi
