Re: Creating and Oracle 7 DB from an Oracle 8 DB

Tim,

As SYS, run ?/rdbms/admin/catexp7.sql on the Oracle 8 database.

You then use the Oracle 7 binary for exp to export data from your Oracle 8 database.

You will then be able to import the resulting file into your version 7 database.

Used it several times, works fine.

Exports created with an Oracle 8 binary will not be importable to an Oracle 7 database however.
