Dan:
  What kinds of problems ? I am beginning a migration of a hybrid OLTP / OLAP database from 7.3.4 to 8.1.5 on Solaris 2.6 We are planning to take 6 weeks to "clean up" the
database and fix the chained /migrated rows before we migrate (mainly on the big tables). We will spend a month testing on a migrated copy before migrating production. Our apps
are custom Powerbuilder apps. I decided to go to 8.1.5 because our other databases are 8.1.5, and just live with the fact I cannot import a table from a multiple-table export.
(that bugs me to no end) I am most interested in responses to this post. Maybe some truly compelling reasons to go to 8.1.6 , although I heard about hanging listener problems
with that version which scared me.

thanks in advance,
Mary Ruiz / Atlanta

We just migrated the first of our environments from 7.3.4 to 8.1.6 ( Solaris 2.6 ).

We have run into a couple of problems that only seem to appear when processing
large tables or large amounts of data.

This is kind of what we expected because we did not have the resources to do full-blown, production size testing.

Anybody have any information on things that go wrong with this type of migration?
