Ron You could try getting the 7.3.4 export to run against the 8.1.7 database. I don't know if the 32 vs 64 bit would affect you. Also, datafile formats changed between Oracle 7 and 8 and I haven't tried this particular export. Maybe somebody on the list has.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, August 15, 2003 4:54 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I need to export the data from an Oracle 8.1.7 database HPUX 64 and import it back into an old 7.3.4 HPUX 32 database. The 7.3.4 import doesn't like the 8.1.7 export file. Any ideas? Ron Smith -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Smith, Ron L.
