Check out the Chapter on downgrading in the 8i Migration manual The 8.1.6 manual pages are still online at http://otn.oracle.com/doc/oracle8i_816/server.816/a76957/migdowng.htm#15124
You need to remove whatever 8i features you may have implemented that are not available in 8.0.5 Depending on what changes you may have made, you may or may not be able to downgrade. Try the downgrade on reviewing the doc. It would be faster than rebuilding the database (unless the upgrade from 8.0.5 to 8.1.6 was itself a rebuild !!). Hemant K Chitale Principal DBA Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Ltd "Ed" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 19/12/2001 05:30 AM Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Looks like we have to revert an 8.1.6 database that was upgraded over the weekend back to 8.0.5, but we need to export/import so we don't lose data from the last 2 days. Anything I need to know? The plan is to export using the 8.0.5 export utility before importing back into 8.0.5. Does this make sense?
