RE: DB Movement from Sun to AIX ?

Some Dumb Questions here Thomas

1) The Client only has Oracle Licenses for 8i on SUN & 9i on AIX. Is it
possible for the materialized view setup in the 9i/AIX DB to pull data
from the source 8i/SUN DB OR does the source 8i/SUN DB also needs to be
first migrated to 9i on SUN for the target 9i/AIX DB to pull data
therefrom?


2) Is it possible to use a combination i.e. 1st use CTAS with a < date
condition to populate historical data Followed by usage of materialized
view to complete the balance refresh?

3) Is parallelization clauses/ parameters setup possible in the
materialized view refresh as exists in CTAS parallel (degree n)?

4) What would be the performance overhead on the production source
8i/SUN DB due to the refresh happening to the target 9i/AIX DB as part
of materialized view?


Excuse my communication skills

P.S. Any other ideas folks?

Thomas,

Man!  That's an interesting idea!

Did it work well for you?  Any downsides?

Tom

How about materialized views?

Create your tables on the AIX box and then create materialized views
using those tables to replicate the Sun data.

When everything's up to speed, cut your users off, do one last
refresh, and drop the materialized views on the AIX box.  The
underlying tables will remain with their data.  Change the entry in
ONAMES and your users start up in the AIX box right where they left
off on the Sun.

It's not quite as simple as that.  Spend about 2 months planning it
and rehearse it at least twice.

We used it to migrate an 80G database to AIX.  User downtime was 15
minutes.
