This works: =========== Windows - Linux X86 Windows - Linux X86_64 Windows - Linux IA64 Windows - True64 (OSF 5.1) Windows - Solaris x86 (and X86_64) This does _NOT_ work: ===================== Windows - Solaris SPARC Windows - HP-UX (neither IA64 nor PA-RISC) Windows - AIX If you want to do one of the latter three you need to unload the database in an indepentend format and reimport it in the target database.
