Choppie,

Thanks for thinking of me to answer your question, and greetings from
Chicago. I am guessing that .za is in Africa, where I have always wanted
to visit.

Anyway, you can't export part of a table, unfortunately. Even with
"incremental" exports, if ONE record in a table has changed, the Export
utility exports the ENTIRE table. Pretty efficient, huh :)

The only suggestion I have is to convert the table to a partitioned table,
based on the date inserted. Then, you can export only the partitions are
defined on the "new" date. It's more headache and overhead, but it will
surely speed up your exports.

Best regards,
