RE: Oracle8i to 10g upgrade using exp and imp

Hrishy,

 

The SYS user never exports even with full=y.   I think your concern is
what happens to the SYSTEM user when it is being imported into the 10g
database.   If nothing happens then you are thinking that full=y would
be easier but you have to resolve that conflict first.

 

I know I'm re-phrasing the question for the list and they can also
respond.   If so, my response would be to use expdp  (10g datapump) to
export the 8i database, and then impdp with the new 'exclude' option and
exclude SYSTEM.

 

I have not done this exact scenario so you should stay tuned for other
comments to this method.

Hrishy,

 

Why would you want to do an exp with full=Y?

 

I would simply recreate any scripts to create local roles and users.
Include any privs assigned to each user in the recreate scripts.

 

Run these scripts to create the roles and users.

Export and import each schema individually.  Export with Oracle 8 and
Import with Oracle 10.

 

Resolve any problems.  Should be a snap.

 

You don't say how big your database is and this may be a deciding factor
in how you do this.

 

Hope this helps.


Tom

Hi

 

It doesnt seem to say anywhere that i can export the whole 8i database
with full=y (including sys and system users) and then import into 10g
using full=y(including sys and system)

 

regards

Hrishy

        Hi,
        
        Oracle has the Oracle Database Upgrade Guide. In this the method
is mentioned.
        See
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14238/preup.htm
#i694345. Start reading from the paragraph Export/Import

        Hi
        
        I would like to know any metalink note or Oracle documentation
link which spells out that i can do exp full=y on 8i database and imp
full=y into 10g database.
        
        I searched this but unable to locate that this is a a supported
method for upgrading from 8i to 10g
        
        regards
        Hrishy
