I am trying to move a 9.2.0.4 150 Gig database from NT to Linux AT UKOUG members of the Oak Table suggested upgrading to 10g then using RMAN. I dont have the disk space for a copy of the DB on NT so was using SAMBA = Server=20 on my linux box.=20 So I have a 9,2.04 database hosted on LInux and accessed by executables = on NT using samba - sounds fine But I get a few - but enough corrupt data = blocks when I import to this database. Do I neeed to rethink the strategy? Howard A.
