We migrated a 350G database using the migration utility under Unix and ended up having to export , drop the tables and re-import the data. Doing this seems to have resolved problems we were having with particual queries (we got 86 core dumps in 12 days betfore this). So my advise, and it is what we will be doing with the other Oracle systems, is to export/s create tablespaces and re-import data
