RE: Cloning databases from Sun Solaris to Sun X86 architecture

To determine the ENDIAN format of your source DB:  

select t.endian_format

from v$transpotable_platform t, v$database d

where t.platform_name = d.platform_name;  

Not sure how you can tell the same for the Sun box you are on, unless you create a small test DB instance and execute the above query on it. My guess is if your source is x86 and the Sun is x86, you are dealing with the same ENDIAN format - YMMV.

Subject: re: Cloning databases from Sun Solaris to Sun X86 architecture

 

My system administrator recommended and purchased a box with the Sun X86
architecture.  It allowed a lot of capacity and a low price. 

 

Now I am supposed to clone an existing 10g database to it.  Can I do
this and be sure that there are no little endian, big endian issues?  

 

How can I tell for certain if there will be or if there are?

 

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Paula
