Hi Peter,
thanks for your reply.
The procedure you described is the same I used (except that tablespaces are placed in backup mode, not offline); luckily, I have the chance to use a spare system to make some tests, the test-test-test policy is the best in this case.
The migration to a more recent platform is not feasible at all, since application language is Pascal (!) and Oracle doesn't provide Pro*Pas libraries since 8.0.5, I guess.
Cheers,
Alessandro
