What about the system schema? I know it's imported, and doesnt that affect the import target original system schema? Thanks, Carmen Rusu >>> DWILLIAMS@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 2/11/2004 1:59:57 PM >>> Rafiq I'm assuming that you mean you want to export/import a schema from Solaris to Linux? If so, just do it. Export/Import will take care of platform incompatibilities. When you send the export dump file to Linux, don't forget to do a binary transfer, since export is a binary format.
