My system administrator recommended and purchased a box with the Sun X86 architecture. It allowed a lot of capacity and a low price. Now I am supposed to clone an existing 10g database to it. Can I do this and be sure that there are no little endian, big endian issues? How can I tell for certain if there will be or if there are? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
