We are trying to transport a tablespace from 8i to 9i. According to metalink Oracle changed the NCHAR character set to 2 values so we dont have a match.
we can do an export/import, but no transportable tablespaces. Any known work around? Short of destroying all our 8i databases and recreating them to match the 9i standards(since the 9i ones cant use what is in 8i).
