Usual rule of thumb - export using the oldest RDBMS version in the transfer, import using the imp for the database to which you are importing. So export with your 8.1.7 version of exp, and if you are moving to 9.2 import with the 9.2 version of imp.
-----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, December 05, 2003 1:00 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Bill, why are you trying to export an 8i database with 9i exp? The export views are different, it shouldn't be expected to work. I don't believe there is any equivalent of catexp7 for 8i/9i.
