I have customer who is on HPUX 11.0, Oracle 8.1.6 who wants me to try to do the following:
Take their hot database backup DB files and try to create the database from those control files under Oracle 9.2 on HPUX 11.11
I'm wondering, will this work? I'm wondering whether the information in the file headers will cause Oracle to have a fit when you try to issue CREATE CONTROLFILE....
Then, after that, if that was to work, they want me to take the archived log files from 8.1.6 and apply them to the 9.2 database cia RECOVER DATABASE UNTIL TIME....
Is this even possible? I'd try to test it, but getting the data is cumbersome, so I don't want to waste the time trying to do it if it's not even possible.
Anyone?
Thanks
