Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Re: Migration to Oracle8 using Migration Utility
From 8.0.5 docs
Start with Oracle Version 7, Release 7.X or Higher If you plan to use the Migration Utility, the earliest release supported by the Migration Utility is platform-specific. For example, on some platforms, the Migration Utility cannot migrate a release lower than version 7, release 7.1.4 (such as version 6, release 7.0, or release 7.1.3). See your platform-specific Oracle documentation for the supported releases on your platform.
If your database release number is lower than the release supported by the Migration Utility on your platform, upgrade or migrate the database to the required release. Use Oracle7 Server Migration, Release 7.3 to migrate or upgrade the system to the required release. Then, use this Oracle8 Migration manual to migrate to version 8.
If you do not use the Migration Utility but instead use Export/Import or data copying, this restriction does not apply. You can use Export/Import or data copying to migrate data directly from a pre-version 8 database (for example, version 6, release 7.0, or release 7.1.3) to version 8.
