Could anyone help with the following, I have tried in metalink.

An old 7.2.3 database has outgrown an old DEC, Digital Unix 3.1 box.

There is an NT Server with Oracle 8.1.7.4.1 waiting to take the database.

The Unix box is the last in the network and I don't do Unix.

There is not enough room on the old box to take an export and say ftp it across. We are reluctant to make space by killing the database until it is up on the new box. The old tape backup is unlikely to be transferrable. We don't have any NFS software and there is a reluctance to implement it for this one off occasion.

The oldest oracle client export anyone can find is 7.3.4 which gives EXP-00037 errors.

Any thoughts as to how to move it across - assuming it will go.

e.g. Is there a simple way of making the network visible or does anyone know where I could download a copy of the 7.2 exp utility for a DOS/Windows Received on Fri Oct 04 2002 - 04:27:27 CDT
