RE: Creating and Oracle 7 DB from an Oracle 8 DB

[Mark Leith]

Tim,   AFAIK you can run the version 7 export utility against the version 8 database, but you have to run the catexp7.sql script on the 8 database?   Something like that.. have never done it :) Regards   Mark -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Tim Allen Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2001 10:06 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: Creating and Oracle 7 DB from an Oracle 8 DB Hi,   Its a long and boring story but I have an Oracle 8 database and I need to create an Oracle 7 database from it to support one of our applications. The schema of the Oracle 8 db does not have any oo features and is, in theory, it functionally compatable with an Oracle 7 db. But I understand that there are issues with using export from oracle 8 and import to oracle 7, I.e it is incompatable.   Has anyone had any experience in doing this or any suggestions on ways of doing it?    And by the way the data in tables needs to be copied from 8 to 7 also.   Cheers   Tim Allen Designer Ramesys (Professional Services) Ltd (       Phone: 01788 822133 .       Fax : 01788 822144 +         Address : Eldon Way, Motorway Ind.
