From tima@specialist.co.uk Wed, 06 Jun 2001 01:14:01 -0700 From: "Tim Allen" Date: Wed, 06 Jun 2001 01:14:01 -0700 Subject: Creating and Oracle 7 DB from an Oracle 8 DB Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Hi,   Its a long and boring story but I have an Oracle 8 database and I need to create an Oracle 7 database from it to support one of our applications. The schema of the Oracle 8 db does not have any oo features and is, in theory, it functionally compatable with an Oracle 7 db. But I understand that there are issues with using export from oracle 8 and import to oracle 7, I.e it is incompatable.   Has anyone had any experience in doing this or any suggestions on ways of doing it?    And by the way the data in tables needs to be copied from 8 to 7 also.   Cheers   Tim AllenDesignerRamesys (Professional Services) Ltd(       Phone: 01788 822133 .       Fax : 01788 822144 +         Address : Eldon Way, Motorway Ind.
