Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Transportable tablespaces
Humm, That's interesting. Transportable tablespaces were introduced in 8i, 9i allowed us to have multiple block sizes at the tablespace level for flexibility. But I've not heard that one can transport a tablespace/datafile across platforms. What a wonderful way to trash all of those Windoze servers out there for Linux!!

Hi Listers
Saw this on SearchOracle
What new features are customers excited about in 10G?
Abramson: What they've done is given you complete flexibility. They have
introduced transportable table spaces, so all you have to do is export
metadata and just copy files across during an upgrade. You don't have to
do a full extraction. I've been in a situation were a company was on Sun
and moving to HP, and they wanted to know how to do it. I told them that
you just unload the database and reload the database. It sounds easy, but
with two terabytes of data it's not unless you have transportable table
spaces.
Can anyone confirm that this is true, that is, the implication that I can copy a transportable tablespace from Sun to HP or vice versa without issue. I suppose then is it big endian - little endian constrained or not
Cheers
