David - I haven't tried this going from Oracle 8 to Oracle 7, but the usual prescription is to export the data using an Oracle 7 exp binary. Can you install that on the source machine? Another approach would be to create a database link between the two systems and use the SQL*Plus COPY command to move the data.

Hi all

Is it possible to take an Oracle Version 8.1 database export file and load it into an Oracle Version 7.1 database? The export file of the 8.1 is on a different machine than the 7.1 database. If I can not is there some other method I can use to get the data from the 8.1 export file to the 7.1 database.

Thanks
David
