I don't think so either. If nothing else, the info that goes into a datafile header in Linux Oracle will be quite different from what goes into a NT ORACLE datafile header. Not in structure, but in content. However, the pure table data (abstracting headers and column separators) will be exactly the same. Assuming of course the same type of Intel CPU.
