You cannot move data files from one OS to a different one due to the
differences in how they write to files.
Import and Export is generally the accepted way to do this.

Hi all,
we have to move a 135 GB Oracle 8.0.6 database from Solaris 7 to Linux.
We tried a simple restore of the database files from the last offline
backup (tape) as we did it many times between equal systems.
After creating the new control file on the target system the database
could not be started, becaue Oracle thinks that the system data file
isn't really a data file!
This means i have to do an export/import! I assume an export time of
round about 10 hrs. Is there any easier way?
TIA
Reinhold Wagner
