Re: Can't seem to import an Oracle 6 export into Personal Oracle 7 on a Mac.

Hi Hung,

I've had the same problem under Windows.

You can only read - to my knwoledge - V7 exports.

I suggest you read your V6 export into a genuine V7 database and export these tables (and other objects) from tere again.

to import the V6 you also have to follow a special proedure, you have to create some views (starting something like exp6.sql) which I don't know without looking it up.

Feel free to ask more about importing the V6 in a genuine V7 environment, is you fail to get more info. Hung Tran <httran1_at_msmail3.hac.com> wrote:
