QUESTION POSED ON: 01 April 2002
I have a 40GB database on Win2k. I want to migrate to Solaris 7. Is Exp/Imp is the only solution for this migration?

EXPERT RESPONSE

Since we are talking about different platforms, it is correct to use strictly Oracle tools. But if you are working with other tools like PipeLines (PowerBuilder has such a tool, or SQL Server DTS), you can create the schema without data in Solaris and use such facilities to pipe the data between platforms.
