Time estimates are impossible. Even approximations unlikely to be
accurate. Can't you get a copy of 8i and install
it just long enough to upgrade 7.3.4 to 8i and then 8i to 9i all in
place. That way you won't have to perform any
exports or imports. And I, for one, wouldn't want to move 286GB unless I
had to.
