I hope some expert can halp me with this.
An old 8.1 server crashed and no backup was avaialble. I managed to salvage from the hard disk the oracle directories, and specifically the oradata directory. Since I had to set up an other server I tried to install oracle 8.1 in a new machine and import the old data.
In order to do this I created a database with the assistant which had the same name of the old database, then I copied the files in the old oradata into the new oradata.
It didn't work. I tried to run the migration utility but it complained about different version of control files, and when I tried to open it I couldn't.
Can someone please tell me what I did wrong and what is the correct procedure to do this?
Thanks in advance. Received on Tue Feb 07 2006 - 13:38:44 CST
