1. Join the 10i beta program 2. Convert your 9.2 datafiles using the cross-platform transportable tablespaces feature of a dummy 10i instance.
;-) Or... Back when one of our system swas at around 200M, we had a C program that dumped table data in parallel by rowid ranges, wrote the streams in SQL*Loader native format to named pipes that were being dd'd with large block sizes across a fast network, to several SQL*Loader processes on the other side using direct/unrecoverable. We ran several of these at a time. As soon as a table would finish we would kick off the index creation in parallel/unrecoverable mode. The goal was to get both the source and target hosts as close to 100% utilization as possible. This was Oracle 8.0.5, migrating Compaq Tru64 (DEC OSF to HP-UX 11 64-bit. The migration took 6 hours. It shouldn't have even taken that long, but we were clumsy in a few ways. There's a lot involved in a migration. Lots of dependencies and details to think about. I recommend repeated practice runs on test equipment before trying the real thing. There's a lot of blood to be squeezed out of this stone to get the time down and reliability up. -- Jeremiah Wilton http://www.speakeasy.net/~jwilton On Mon, 9 Jun 2003, Goulet, Dick wrote: > Exp/imp of a 200GB database is possible, but I'd think the time required would be > the long pole in the tent.
