Hi All,

Many Thanks to Robert Freeman, Mark Bobak, Dick Goulet for helping me out on
my previous question on incomplete recovery. Unfortunately I did not get a
chance to resolve the issue as another DBA is currently working on it. So I
cannot give any updates on it currently.

I'm running a test environment. The test database is small. I would like to
move/migrate  9i r2 database on host 1 to 10g r1 on host 2. 9i r2 and 10g r1
are the software versions on host 1 and 2 respectively. I would like to
receive suggestions on how to do this. My ideas are as follows: Create a new
database on 10g r1 with the same name as test database on 9i r2 and export
the tablespaces from host 1(9i r2) and import it in newly created database
using transport_tablespace on host 2(10g r1). To my knowledge an export from
9i r2 will be compatible in 10g r1. Any help is greatly appreciated. Can the
same step be followed for large databases? If not what would be procedure
for large databases? Thanks in advance.
