Hi,

I have a production database on 7.3.2.1 AIX 4.2.1 on an RS/6000 which has an export size of 10GB compressed.

New IBM hardware is on its way and the goal is to move the data into an Oracle 8.1.7.1 database, not sure about AIX - maybe 4.3, maybe 5.

I could (with existing CDs) build a 7.3 database, import and then upgrade in place - but is this necessary - are the exports fully compatible between Oracle versions?

thanks
