Re: Who to copy complete database

Hi Ullrich,

of course you can shut down your database and copy everything to the new machine (done this several times).
You have to copy the *.dbf (tablespaces) files, the redo-logs, hmm did i forget something?
The program-files stay the same.
The you should be able to do a normal startup on the new system.

If you are not able to shut down you production system you can use exp, if you do this way you may want to use consistent=yes.

kind regards,
