Re: From 8.0.5 to 8.1.5

Incremental export/import would not work, as all the tables that have been changed in the meantime are exported in full - not the difference only.

However your idea might work with RMAN incremental backup as it is really incremental - only the changed blocks are backed up ?

Any ideas from listers ?
