<FONT face=Arial

<FONT face=Arial

Its a long and
boring story but I have an Oracle 8 database and I need to create
an Oracle 7 database from it to support one of our applications. The schema
of the Oracle 8 db does not have any oo features and is, in theory, it
functionally compatable with an Oracle 7 db. But I understand that there are
issues with using export from oracle 8 and import to oracle 7, I.e it is
incompatable.

Has anyone had any
experience in doing this or any suggestions on ways of doing
it?

And by the way
the data in tables needs to be copied from 8 to 7 also.
