Hi!,
I am trying to import .dmp file from oracle 8.7.1 to 8.6.1.
Few thigs I would like to know are:
1. Is backward compatibility possible???
2. I get the error upon importing the data which is most common...
Import done in WE8IS08859P1 charecter set and US7ASCII NCHAR character set.
export client uses WE8IS08859P1 character set (possible charset conversion)
import server uses US7ASCII NCHAR character set (possible ncharset conversion)

I tried to set the NLS_LANG in the classpath but in vain....
Also tried by ALTER COMMAND ....but no way
Are there any ways I can solve the Problem....
Any quick help shall be helpful to me...
Thanks in advance...
Regards,
Soman

This is not an error but an informational message. The database you exported is WE and the target is US7. Did the import fail?

type imp user/pass@db help=y

you'll see the name for the nls character parameter there. try using that.

You will need to perform the export using the 8.1.6 binaries. On the 8.1.6 machine make sure you have a tns entry for the 8.1.7 machine and type:

exp system/PASSWORD@tns817 ...

This will export the 8.1.7 database using the 8.1.6 binaries.

When going down version you need to use the target (in this case 8.1.6) dbase version export.
