Hi

There are several ways to move a database :

1 : Shutdown the db and copy all the data files, redologfiles, control file and the parameter file to the dev box then open the db.

2 : Take a online backup of the database and then copy the control file, data files and the archiverfiles and do a incomplete recovery

3 : user RMAN duplicate command to make a copy of the database to the dev box

1 - 3 are fast and easy to do.

4: use transportable table spaces to move part of the database to the dev box is a possibility that work but requires more skills.

How to duplicate production database onto development box

Hi!

We want to put an exact copy of our production database (approx. 200 GB) onto a development box. What would be the best way to achieve this? Export/import would take kinda long... ;)

Would transportable tablespaces be the way to go?

This is 8.1.7 on Sun Solaris.

Thanks,
Helmut
