Import 8173 dump file into 9204

[harwooddale]

Hi,
We have a situation with an 8173 database and a 9204 database on the same Sun machine. What we need to do is take the data from the 8173 database and load it into the 9204 database.
I presume it is as easy as a full export followed by a full impoirt into 9204.
Is this the correct way to go about it?
Any help gratefully appreciated

Dale,

Yes, you would conduct the exp/imp sessions as though they were from and to the same versions. The problem comes when you try to go the other direction: newer-to-older won't work unless you use the older (8.1.7.3 version of "exp") to conduct the export from the 9.2.0.4 database.

Let us know if you have an problems,
