Hopefully this question won't devolve into a treatise on proper
"troubleshooting". Troubleshooting is something I pride myself on. I knew I
was taking a chance in posting a bare bones email and I paid the price. Oh
well.
But think of this. All rather puzzling.
The export taken from an 8i database fails on import into the same (newly
rebuilt 8i database) with primary key violation. This same export imports
successfully into a 9i database on a different server. Same number of rows
imported into the tables. There is no funny nls stuff. Primary key is two
varchar columns, consisting of ipaddress and radius server name. So the dup
on the 8i database doesn't show up on the 9i database.
These are the types of oracle problems I find fascinating but since both the
8i server and database are desupported I'm really trying to push the client
into upgrading and I am not going to spend alot of time troubleshooting it.
Like I said, I was looking for a quick hit after spending days on recovery.
Anyone guess what kind of mood I'm in?
