I agree. It was disheartening to look at the LDAP v3 standard compliant OiD and not be able to do much with the extracted LDIFs. After looking up the RFCs, I saw that there is an RFC for LDIF files that is separate from the RFC for LDAP. My opinion is that OiD *may* be LDAP v3-compliant, but is

Yes it is.  We actually had to do it for a canned app that checked the exact version of the database...for no apparent reason.  The app would only run on 8.1.6 and we were running 8.1.7...so we just created a table with the exact same structure as v$_version and update the table to reflect

At the risk of stating the painfully obvious--you realize that those 'production' designations refer to the oracle db software itself, and not your use of the db, right? One other thing to consider would be setting your sql*plus prompt to include the SID of the db to which you are connected.

SQL-Plus is a little like the old interactive fiction games (text-based games, like 'Adventure' or 'Zork'). You only need to type enough of some words so that they are unambiguous. See the SQL-Plus User's Guide, command reference (chapter 8 for 8.1.7, chapter 13 for 9.2.0) for details. I'm

You won't be storing LOB's, you will be storing LONG's. Oracle does not automatically convert LONG to LOB for you. You will have to do that yourself ( check on MetaLink ) after you import the data. Assuming that your new database will be using LMT's ( locally managed tablespaces ) I would think

However, failed transactions must be handled from client side. Queries may migrate to surviving nodes transparently. Also, currently RAC has many problems, such all nodes hanging when one node dies. Completely separate systems are still (an will always be) the most available solution.
