To the best of my knowledge, & I've done this several times now, you run the appropriate upgrade script then the utlirp.sql script to migrate from 32 to 64 bit. Now you must have the 64 bit executables installed or it creates some interesting results. But you don't have to rebuild the database. UNLESS your changing os platforms like Sun to WinDoze.

Dick Goulet Senior Oracle DBA Oracle Certified 8i DBA -----Original Message----- [mailto:Murali_Pavuloori/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2003 10:39 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L hello, We currently have oracle (32 bit) 9.2.0.3 db running on Win 2000. We got new itanium machines running Win 2003 (64 bit). We want to move the db running on 32 bit win 2000 server to Wiin 2003 (64 bit) server. Someone suggested that (after installing the 64 bit oracle software) we copy the datafiles over and run a migration utility to convert the 32 bit db to 64 bit. I personally have never heard of such utility. Could you please share your experiences. How reliable is this utility and where to find the docs on this....
