Re: Exporting an 8.1.6 db for a 7.3 db

No way using exp/imp. You have to hold your 7.3 exp/imp tools or you have to write sql scripts, that load your data in ascii files. Then you have to create loader scripts
and use the sqlloader to get these ascii data in the 7.3.4 databases. Somewhat more complicated
but better to maintain and independent of versions.
