Re: Merge datafile to Another DATABASE

Just to set the record straight and to avoid wild speculation :

2. This sounds confusing - so I thought I would reveal some numbers here. Oracle DUL might be expensive in some countries. DUDE is not at all expensive - in fact most cases range between 900 to 1350 euros ... I think the day price of many consultants is higher then that ! To give you another example - we once unloaded a 2TB warehouse for a fixed price ... and it was less then half of ten thousand dollar. So I wouldn't say all direct unloading is pricey...

cheers,
Kurt
