No matter how you do it, do it in parallel. Export and import, or CTAS, by schema or tables so you can run them in parallel.
Yechiel Adar Mehish ----- Original Message ----- To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, November 13, 2002 7:03 PM Qs What would be the FASTEST way to Load ALL Data from a Source Database Existing in 7.3.4 into an Empty Target Database in 8.1.7.4 ? NOTE - Creation Fresh (NEW) Database is a Must because Some of the Data Dictionary Objects have got Corrupted & the Standard Migration of the Same Oracle 7 Database to Oracle 8i did NOT Correct the Corruption Either. Qs Would Creating a Database Link between the 2 Databases & using CREATE TABLE <TABLE NAME IN 8i DB> NOLOGGING PARALLEL (DEGREE n) AS SELECT * FROM <TABLE NAME IN 7.3.4 DB>@DB_LINK be FASTER than taking Full Database Export (exp) of the Oracle 7 Database & Importing (imp) to the Oracle 8i Database ? ASSUMPTION - Both Databases Exist on the SAME Storage Box & thus on the Same Machine Thanks -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: VIVEK_SHARMA INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
