Re: copying datafile nt4-w2k

[Jeffrey Beckstrom]

Presuming this is a cold backup. I recall trying it about a year or so ago with a hot backup and had a problem with recovery not knowing when to stop - it kept wanting more log files.

Certainly possible.

I'm currently copying 8.0 files on NT to Win2k servers with
8.1.7 installed.  Rebuild the controlfile, open the database
and upgrade.  Works great.
