Luc,

This should be fine.  As a test, I would create a small database and copy
that one over first.  Open it and do a couple of queries to make sure all
works ok.

We upgraded from 5.1 to 5.2 on our existing box.  I did nothing to the
database and it came up fine.  Just for grins, we did an Oracle relink all
and did our tests again.  Again, all was fine.

One thing that you should check though is whether 8.1.7 is supported on AIX
5.2.

Tom

Subject: Transfer of a database from AIX5.1 to AIX5.2

Hi,

Oracle 8.1.7, AIX5.1
We have to transfer some database from one server running on AIX5.1 to
a server running AIX5.2

My first proposition (and the easier)  was to take a coldbackup and
transfer it to the new server.  The sysadmin told me yesterday that he
wants to install AIX5.2 on the new server.  We will stay with
Oracle8.1.7.

My question is, will my coldbakcup be good even if the OS change from
AIX5.1 to AIX5.2?

If not, I guess that my only option is Export/Import?

Thank you
Luc
