Hi,
I have an intel box running RH 5.2 with Oracle 7.3.2 (archive log mode).
I have another intel box running RH 6.2 and Oracle 7.3.2.

Can I copy archived redo logs from RH 5.2 to RH 6.2 and have that database in a constant recovery mode, thus synchronizing the data?

I do not want to stop the database and do exports as it would take too long (60GB db, 10 Mb ethernet) and I have limited disk space left!

I then want to upgrade RH 6.2 from Oracle 7.3.2 to Oracle 8.1.7 - all with a minimum (1-3 hrs?) of downtime - is it possible?

I guess this is where a Oracle DBA really shows her colours but it is hard to justify the cost for this low funded project.

thanks!
