The documentation says you can: 9i: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96521/tspaces.htm#22301 "It is always possible to transport a tablespace from a database running an older release of Oracle (starting with Oracle8i) to a database running a newer release of Oracle (for example, Oracle9i)." 10g: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14231/tspaces.htm#sthref1297 Table 8-1 Minimum Compatibility Requirements

However, you can copy all of the datafiles from a 9i database which is down, and then "open upgrade" with the 10g binaries, assuming all infrastructure details are consistent (OS, endian, etc)..... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Harel Safra" <harel.safra@xxxxxxxxx> To: sundarmahadevan82@xxxxxxxxx Cc: Oracle-L@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, August 11, 2009 1:36:18 PM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: Re: move 9i r2 database on host 1 to 10g r1 on another host Let me add another option: If the servers are running the same OS on the same architecture you should be able to create a new DB on host 2 and then use transportable tablespace to copy the datafiles to host 2 and plug them in the new DB. You get the advantages of a new, clean DB but the copying the datafiles should be faster than exp+imp. Harel Safra sundar mahadevan wrote: Hi Martin, I read through the link that you provided. Personally, i woud prefer DBUA to do the upgrade. To my understanding, DBUA requires the database to up. In my case, there are no 9i binaries on Host 2. Host 1 is completely 9i and Host 2 is completely 10gr1. So I cannot bring the 9i database up on 10gr1. In this scenario, I believe the options I have are: 1) to install 10gr1 software on Host 1 and do the upgrade with DBUA and then copy all the datafiles to Host2 later and startup the database. 2) Create a database on host 2 and use export/import from host1 (9i). Whats your say?
