Re: Best way to upgrade database/move data

'Best' depends on a lot of things.

If you have a narrow window of opportunity, export/import may not be a viable solution as it is so slow. Dumping your data to flat files and using sqlloader to load the data may be another way for you to do this. More complex that exp/imp, takes more planning and work, but faster to execute.

You can also just restore a backup on the new system and upgrade it. This is a fast way to move a database.
