Re: Exporting an 8.1.6 db for a 7.3 db

Nope, catexp7.sql run against 8i allows exp (7.3.4) to export from an Oracle 8i db.

I need to be able to export from an 8i db so that the resulting export can be imported into an 7.3.4 db. If I use the 7.3.4 against an 8i db, no problem, the export can be sent to our clients and imported into their 7.3.4 db.

But we'll be getting rid of 7.3.4 and I need a solution without 7.3.4.
