Step by Step EXP / IMP database from Oracle 9i to Oracle 11g

Please help on the captioned where I did the below
1. Use EXP to export the database from a Oracle9i database (O9_DB) OLD_Windows2003_SERVER
2. Install the Oracle 11g (default service name is ORCL) to a new Windows 2003 server and use the IMP to import the O9_DB, however, I need to create the same physical path as the OLD_Windows2003_SERVER (e.g E:\Oralce_9i\Ordata\) in order to complete the IMP
3. I can launch the SQL Developer and obtain the records count of evey tables being imported
However, is there any best / proper way to do the EXP/IMP, the ideal outcome would be
1. Create a new namespace say (OLDDB) which same as the Oracle9i database name so maybe I don't need to modify much on the application side to point to the new database ?
2. IMP the OLDDB to the new namespace OLDDB
Thanks in advance

Hello,
If you create the new Database on a new Server, you could keep the same name for the Database.
To switch from the old Database to the new one, you'll have to change the hostname on the "tnsnames.ora" or in any configuration file which define the database connexion.
About the best way to do the Export/Import, you may have some details on the link below:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10819/expimp.htm#i262317
Else, why do you intend to stay on a Windows 2003 Server, why not moving to Windows 2008 ?
NB: Oracle *11.1* is certified on Windows 2008 and Oracle *11.2* is certified on Windows 2008 R2.
Hope this help.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin

  • Importing Database from SQL Server into Oracle 8i

    Hello Friends,
    Cuurentlly we are using SQL Server as our application database, Now we want to switch on at Oracle 8i,bcz of some problems,
    If anybody had done so,then please help me in solving this problem,
    I wana Import whole database from SQL server to Oracle
    Lot of thanks

    Hi,
    Use the SQL Server Enterprise Manager to export all the tables from SQL to oralce.
    When selecting the target database use the Oracle native driver (the name is not on top of my head) and not the ODBC one.
    You will have problems with datatypes. Make sure to edit the mappings for the proper datatype if required.
    If you have ntext columns, make sure they are translated to CLOB and not long.

  • Need to Clone A Database From Solaris to Linux Oracle 11g

    Hi Team,
    I am using Oracle Database Version 11.2.0.1.
    We have 6 production servers and all of them are in solaris box. We have a new requirement from application to use Linux boxes and for that we need to perform a database refresh from Solaris to Linux box.
    I can do it by Export and Import technique. But I want some other way to perform this database refresh activity.
    1] Can I do it while taking a rman backup from solaris box( Source) and restore it back to Linux( Target)?
    2] Can I do it using transportable tablespace method?
    I am aware of performing this using export-import but as our database size is near of 1TB I can't apply this technique.
    I need your suggestions in this activity, please put your opinion on the correct method I should opt for and along with that share me the supporting document where things are mentioned in step by step way.
    Please let me know if this can achieved by RMAN...
    Source Machine Make:-
    bash-3.00$ uname -a
    SunOS blrdlvdwhdb01 5.10 Generic_142909-17 sun4v sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-T6320
    Target System Make:-
    Linux blrulvremoradb01 2.6.18-194.el5 #1 SMP Tue Mar 16 21:52:39 EDT 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
    Regards,

    Yes, you can create a backup with rman and restore in other platform, check:

    but easier and faster will be with expdp/impdp.

  • Importing an oracle 8i database from Enterprise Version intot Oracle Lite

    How do i get to import an Oracle 8i Enterprise Server database into an Oracle 8i lite server.
    null

    I have never done this..but it ought to be simple....
    If you are only cocvern about the logical schema and the data in it..then I would simply export the database using export utility.
    let say if user snawaz who owns the schema on you enterprise server ..then just make sure you have a user snawaz on the lite oracle..
    also make sure user snawaz on both have enough priviledges to the database..
    then simply do an export:
    example:
    from enterprise database:
    exp snawaz/snawaz@sidname owner=snawaz
    this will export all the schema owned by snawaz, then take the export file to oracle lite...
    then do import
    imp snawaz/snawaz@sidname
    when it prompts for entire dmp file just say no and only import user and specify the user snawaz...
    it should work fine..
    If you need more comprehensive doc.let me kow

  • Restore a database from RAC to standalone oracle server

    Hi,
    I wanted to know whether we can restore a RAC database to a standalone machine. Steps which i am planning to do
    1) Create a stand alone server
    2) Install oracle in the same path as that in RAC
    3) Create a database of the same name
    4) Re direct Restore to this location from RAC database
    The database is non asm. Can any one let me know whether RAC database support redirect restore.
    Amith

    This is possible.You won't have to create the new database though. Rman will do this for you (after all, you restore/recover a full database). It is much easier when you also use ASM on the destination but is you do not want to use asm, you can still use rman to rename/relocate all datafiles to a non-asm location.

  • Exp/imp, convertion from byte to char.

    Hi,
    I have a dump file exported from a database with nls_lenght_sematics=BYTES. When i import it into a database with nls_lenght_sematics=CHAR, it is retaining the BYTE charecteristics. Is there any way to change it into CHAR while importing. This for globalization support.
    Thanks
    Muneer

    Hi Muneer,
    No, import always preserve the LENGTH semantics of the original columns.
    The workaround is to create your schema objects in the traget database first, with the desired semantics, prior to the importing the data.

  • Move database from server running Oracle 11G to server running Oracle 12c

    I'm trying to find out the easiest way to migrate a database from a server running Oracle 11G to a server running Oracle 12c. I have tried using RMAN's duplicate database command but have run into far too many issues when trying to setup both servers before running the duplicate command.  If someone could provide some clear guidance on configuring both servers for the RMAN Duplicate command then that would be great.  The other thing I have tried is performing a cold backup of all the files for the database (control files, data files, etc.).  Copying them to the new server and then recreating the control file to include the correct location and names for the datafiles and redologs.  After recreating the control file the database will not start up.  I'm suspecting this is due to the version differences. If you can provide me clear (ie. migration for dummies) instruction for getting either of these methods to work it would be greatly appreciated.  I'm also open to any other method you can think of to achieve what I'm trying to accomplish. Thanks, Paul Noyes

    How shoud I start. Please assist me.As endian formats are different for Solaris 8 and Redhat (solaris has big, but linux has little), then the easiest way is to use exp/imp utiltiy for migration data.
    exp full database from 8i and import it in 10g. You can exp only particular schemas, it really depends, what kind of data you need, how much data You need to import and so on. But exp/imp is the answer how to get data into new database.

  • Migration from SQL Server to Oracle 8i

    Hi,
    what are the general issues to be considered when migrating a database from SQL server to Oracle 8i.
    Is it documented on the web/ or any publication
    Samit

    What we did was to create the schema using migration work bench and then transfer the data using data junction
    The main issues that you have to handle are
    1) Data type issue, here problem comes converting chars to varchars as chars are padded and may not work in indexes, so you have to trim the afterwards, and if you have any image type data types in Sqlserver, you can use either lobs or long raw, it again depends upon your application, if you uses lobs you may have to recode your application
    2) Sql statements, Oracle cannot understand Sqlserver sql statements, so you have to convert them all. Sqlserver allows two outerjoins to a table, Oracle does not, so you have to modify your functionality
    3) Connections to the database. if you are using ODBC then use Oracle ODBC drivers and the latest ones, otherwise you may encounter memory leaks.
    These are from the top of my head, if you have any specific problem I may be able to help.
    Good luck

  • Migrating oracle 9i from Fail safe to Oracle RAC

    We are planning to migrate our Oracle 9i database from Fail safe to Oracle RAC. Does anybody has any experience to share? Where can I find the documentation about this?
    Regards

    FailSafe Cluster and RAC are completely different architectures, there's no direct migration path. Export the 9i database and import into a fresh RAC database.
    At the same time move to 11gR2.
