Goal
During TTS export you find that the size of the DataPump (expdp) dump file is much larger than that of same export via traditional exp. This seems strange as only metadata is being exported and DataPump by default compresses metadata. (From 10.2 Utilities guide page 2-8 "Parameters Available in Export's Command-Line Mode" COMPRESSION: Default: METADATA_ONLY)
