Vivek - If it is critical, I would test each alternative on a small amount of data. I have had pretty good results from the data link. Depending on the number of CPUs, you can run multiple imports or multiple data links simultaneously. Also watch your disk storage conflicts. For example, you wouldn't want the source tables and destination tables on the same disk. The more you can spread I/O the better because that is likely to end up as your bottleneck.

Qs What would be the FASTEST way to Load ALL Data from a Source Database Existing in 7.3.4 into an Empty Target Database in 8.1.7.4 ?

NOTE - Creation Fresh (NEW) Database is a Must because Some of the Data Dictionary Objects have got Corrupted & the Standard Migration of the Same Oracle 7 Database to Oracle 8i did NOT Correct the Corruption Either.

Qs Would Creating a Database Link between the 2 Databases & using CREATE TABLE <TABLE NAME IN 8i DB> NOLOGGING PARALLEL (DEGREE n) AS SELECT * FROM <TABLE NAME IN 7.3.4 DB>@DB_LINK be FASTER than taking Full Database Export (exp) of the Oracle 7 Database & Importing (imp) to the Oracle 8i Database ?

ASSUMPTION - Both Databases Exist on the SAME Storage Box & thus on the Same Machine

Thanks
