dear all, we are planning to migrate and convert database from hp-ux pa-risc to new aix (same big endian). finding metalink note, could not point to the statement that "we can convert from 10.1 to 10.2 on different platform directly" got this statement from oracle docs 10.1 that we can use transportable tablespace approach: Beginning with Oracle Database 10g, a tablespace can always be transported to a database with the same or higher compatibility setting, whether the target database is on the same or a different platform. does anyone has this kind of experiences? any issues will raise during migration and after migration? -- thanks and regards ujang | oracle dba | mysql dba jakarta - indonesia -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
