Ben - How large is your database and how long can you have it unavailable to production? If your database isn't large and your users can be off, for example, a weekend, then the export/import method is simple and easy. Dennis Williams DBA Lifetouch, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have DB on 8i and I want create new one on another machine with 9i. I thought do the following steps: 1 - Install oracle 9i on a new machine 2 - make full export of the 8i DB 3 - import it on the new one (9i) So before I proceed I need your input. Am I correct with these steps? There is something wrong? Many thanks for you, Kader __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
