Joseph.

I prefer to exp/imp when possible. You get a chance to change anything you like. With 8.0.5, you may have to upgrade in two steps. You could test the exp/imp on your test system and get an idea of how much system downtime your users would experience. Then ask them if that would be acceptable. I think either route would work fine.

We're running Oracle 8.0.5 for 3 years now and want to go to Oracle9i.

Should I
a) upgrade OR
b) exp the db and do an install of 9i then imp

(this is a lenghty process)

what say you? TIA.
Joe
