Re: update 7.3.2 to 8.x on NT

Hi, Vick,

 We have Oralce 7.3.2 and Oracle8i, running on NT servers. We don't have Oracle 8.0.5. But the method should be the same. We exported everything from Oracle 7.3.2 to a DMP file, then imported from this DMP file into Oracle8i. It works fine. I perfer testing the migation process on a smaller database first, testing your applications against this DB, then migrating your producton DB. The way you changed the block_size from 2K to 8K should be fine.
