What exactly is "real drama"? Please elucidate.

Are you using the same OS/architecture?

If you're not, 'better watch out for those endians!

You might be better off exporting the dataset, using the CREATE DATABASE statement and importing the dataset on the target machine.

Are the Oracle binaries already installed on the target machine?
