Hi List,

I'm in the throws of migrating a live system.  We are updating our Sun boxes
to v445's with Solaris 10 (coming from 8) and at the same time from 9i to
10g.  I was wondering about a full import option to move the data, the DB is
about 50Gb, so I don't think it's worth dragging it through datapump.

I've imported a single schema (the applications data) into a 10g instance
for testing; this worked fine.  The main issues are in-house developments
based around the live data.  Developers have created tables, synonyms, views
and database links (coming in from elsewhere) in their own schema, all of
which accesses objects in the main schema; so plenty of scope for missing
permissions synonyms and of course . . . tantrums!  The people have also put
tables and packages into the main schema (yes I know!) these again could be
an issue, as they tend to access the developers own schema.

SO after all of that mess, I think a one shot FULL import would be easier
than trying to pick my way through that little lot.  I intend to drop the
two application schemas and reuse the already created instance for this.

Does anybody know of issues with full imports from: Solaris 8 - 9.2.0.4 to
Solaris 10 - 1.0.2.0.3?  Or even problems afterwards.  We do have problems
importing tables with LOB's in but that is a known issue.

Thanks for reading.
