Hi list, I know it's not possible to copy datafiles from one platform to another. For example you can't copy datafiles from HPUX to AIX or from Windows to Linux. But I am not sure about Linux and Solaris, if I remember correctly I have installed solaris binaries into linux once. So I'm not sure about this question. Can you copy datafiles (or a complete database) from a solaris to linux? would it work? Have any of you tested it ? (I cat test it as I don't have access to a Soalris right now) Thanks for your help!
