Exp vs Expdp size

Maarten VekensDec 8 2016 — edited Dec 12 2016

Currently there is a daily export of a database using exp, I want to change this to expdp (datapump)

When i take a dump using export the size is around 3GB. When I do a full export with datapump the size is around 2.6GB.

Does anybody know the difference between both? Is the difference in size normal?

command used

export

exp '/@instance as sysdba' consistent=y full=y file=d:\Dumps\dump.dmp log=d:\Dumps\log\exportGLOBP01.log

datapump

expdp "'/ as sysdba'" full=y directory=datapumpdir dumpfile=$ORACLE_DUMP logfile=exp-"$ORACLE_INSTANCE"_$date.log
