Re: How to port a DB(Ora815) on a different server (sameOS) but Ora817?

That won't work buddy, you will have to use the migration/upgrade tool to update the Data files to the new 'format' that oracle 8.1.7 uses if you want to copy it straight across.
The easiest way would be to use a dump file no..? Make sure and keep the DB block size the same in the init.ora !
