I may not have gotten far enough into my research to know the answer
yet, but I'll ask it anway.

 

Can Rman be used to migrate a database from a 32 bit environment to a 64
bit environment?  Would this work:

 

1) Take an RMAN full backup of the database

2) Build a 64 bit machine

3) Install 64 bit O/S and Oracle.

4) recreate the exact same folder structure as on the 32 bit machine.

5) Login to RMAN and do a redirected restore.

 

I have a 9.2.0.8 database. Have to make sure that 9.2 is available in
64bit.  If not, I would have to upgrade to 10g.

 

Thanks
Bob
