Joseph,

Following might help you.

We have databases 8.1.6 on Solaris 2.7. On NT4 we have 8.0.4. We export user schema/tables from 816 and import the schema/tables into 804 on NT. Important things are:

If your databases versions are same on both the machines, then use the same exp/imp software versions. Else use the lesser version. For example, to export the tables from 816, I use exp version from 804. Reason: exp/imp are downward compatible but not upwards. Also, while ftp, keep the file transfer in binary.

Hope this might clarify some things.

Can I import a database from NT which was exported from AIX RS6000 servers? Do I just move the expdat.dmp (exported output) from AIX to NT and simply use the export/import utilities?

TIA
