Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: How to move a databse from Solaris to Llinux
You cannot move data files from one OS to a different one due to the differences in how they write to files.
Import and Export is generally the accepted way to do this.

Hi all,
we have to move a 135 GB Oracle 8.0.6 database from Solaris 7 to Linux. We tried a simple restore of the database files from the last offline backup (tape) as we did it many times between equal systems.
After creating the new control file on the target system the database could not be started, becaue Oracle thinks that the system data file isn't really a data file!
This means i have to do an export/import! I assume an export time of round about 10 hrs. Is there any easier way?
TIA Reinhold Wagner
