Symptoms


===================
-- Problem Statement:

When using DataPump to export from a 10.2 database and import into a 10.2 database, the DDL for lengthy views and triggers is truncated. The source database has a block size of 2048 (db_block_size = 2048).  The target database has a block size of 8192.

Example:



DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('VIEW','TABXX','<USERNAME>')
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CREATE OR REPLACE FORCE VIEW "<USERNAME>"."TABXX" ("TABXX_SESSION_NUMBER",
"TABXX_USER", "TABXX_END_DATE","TABXX_ZZZ_DOC_CODE",
"TABXX_ACTIVITY_DATE", "TABXX_ZZZ_DATE", "TABXX_TRAN_NUMBER", "TABXX_NUMBER", "TABXXX_DETAIL_CODE", "TABXX_DESC", "TABXX_DCAT_CODE", "TABXX_AMOUNT", "TABXXX_NAME", "TABXX_ID", "TABXX_SRCE") AS


Using the classic Export and Import on the same source and target databases works correctly, with no truncation of lengthy views or triggers.

The same triggers and views are extracted correctly with DataPump if the source database has a larger block size such as 8192.

The same triggers and views are extracted correctly with the DBMS_METADATA package if the source database has a larger block size such as 8192.
