RE: Best way to upgrade database/move data

Rick,

I see you've already had some good advice on exp/imp 'ing the data, so I'll leave that as is.

One question - Why are you moving to NT again? If this is an all new server, why don't you slap Win2K on there? Much better platform..

Cheers

Mark

Hi DBAs,

Currently I have NT server 4.0/Oracle 8.0.5 with about 400 million records/450 tables,indices,etc.

We will be getting a new NT server with Oracle 8.1.7. We will increase block size from 2k to 8k

What would be the best way to move data/users/sequences,etc from existing server to new server? Essentially replicate everything from old server to new server.

Thanks
Rick
