Terry - My principle is always if the database is small enough and the downtime window is large enough, use exp/imp.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2003 4:05 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L We currently have a database on Solaris 8. The database is 8.1.7.4 32-bit. The vendor wants us to upgrade to 9.2 and change to 64-bit. In reading the documentation from Metalink, I find that I have to do the upgrade seperate from the change to 64-bit. Does anyone have any recommendations for the order of this. Should I change 8.1.7.4 to 64-bit and then upgrade to 9.2? Or should I upgrade to 9.2 and then switch to 64-bit. Any insights, horror stories, etc. are appreciated.
