Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Re: Migrate to 8.05!
I migrated a number of 73x database to 805 using the migration utility
(on solaris 251) and had a great time, read the book, there are a couple
gotcha's like it tells you to do a select before it tells you to start
it up! But it was a good experience. I did also do it with 804 and that
was a real pain in the butt. The migration was so bad that I waited
until the app that was using that db was certified with 805 to migrate.
Good Luck,
Glen
