Greg,It's a good article with obvious advantages. Issue at hand is that, in addition to the db upgrade I'm also redesigning the underlying tablespace structure for data archival purposes. The current DW is a homegrown monster that started out with no budget and patchwork equipment. It has basically been duct taped and bailing wired together. Think of a "redneck mansion" 5 trailer houses with connecting porches. I'm using this opportunity to rebuild the base, create the tables as empty on the new structure, and then export/import the data. Better, stronger, faster...

Have you considered upgrading to 10.2 and then using cross platform transportable tablespaces?http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/availability/htdocs/xtts.htm Regards, Greg Rahn http://structureddata.org -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Datapump vs. 9i From: Rodd Holman <Rodd.Holman@xxxxxxxxx> To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: 4/19/2007 9:54 AMYeah, I know It's not supported. Here's the scenario: Current: HPUX, 9.2.0.5, 2TB Warehouse Moving to: AIX5L (5300), 10.2.0.3 Size/function same.Would like to try using expdp/impdp as method of moving data. Is it possible to install the datapump scripts (dbmsdp.sql, catdph.sql, catdpb.sql, etc.) into a 9i database for using the expdp from a remote client? Has anyone tried it? My export area is mounted on the AIX box so if I could use the 10g client to export it down and then import it up locally would be my best scenario.Ideas, thoughts, suggestions...
