I would like to be able to duplicate a DB instance in Oracle8 on one NT portable PC to another machine (by just copying dbf files, if possible).

I've copied DBs successfully under UNIX before, but I'm having some problem with NT.
On Unix, most of the Oracle files are in the following directories:

oracle\oradata\{SID} and
oracle\admin\{SID}
oracle\dbs (for the init${SID}.ora file)

On NT, things seem to be different. It looks like the files I'm interested are in the following directories:
\orant\net80\admin and
\orant\database

There are also Oracle Instance-specific Services which will start the Oracle DB on NT startup. I'm not exactly sure how to add/define the new Oracle Instance services.
Thanks for any help you can provide. Received on Tue Sep 08 1998 - 23:18:20 CDT
