Re: 8.0.5(32 bit) to 8.1.6(64 bit)

On Jun 29, dgoulet_at_vicr.com scribbled on the wall in glitter crayon:

->
->Question, Can we just take a cold backup of the original database and place it
->on the new server & then run the database, OR do we need to export the original
->and import it into the new server?

if the file system structure is *exactally* the same, then that should do fine. i just did it with a smaller database on v7.3.4 and all we did was copy it off one and drop it on the other and light 'em up. minor tewaking of the listener file and tnsnames file were needed.

email me if you need details.
