Just
copy the files over and recreate the control file.

Hi!
We want to put an exact copy of our production database (approx. 200 GB) onto a development box. What would be the best way to achieve this? Export/import would take kinda long... ;)
Would transportable tablespaces be the way to go?
This is 8.1.7 on Sun Solaris.
Thanks,
Helmut
