If ALL you’re concerned about is the DATA, i.e., NO “code” like SQL, stored
procedures, Java, Python, Oracle Call Interface, ODBC, JDBC or ANY other data
ACCESS methods, which would also imply you don’t care how long it takes to copy
the data AND that the data is “static”, i.e, not being changed, then
export/import is the “safe” bet. As others have noted, you may have to take two
steps, to a later version, before 19c.
If ANY the above assumptions are incorrect; then there is NO “good” or “smooth”
way to accomplish what you desire.
As I’m sure you know, there are VAST differences in “behavior” of the
optimized, operating system and underlying database. If there is ANY
“application” involved that is not a complete re-write, you’ll need to test,
test and test again; and expect significant rewrites.
