I've done this with once with Solaris 2.7 and Solaris 2.8. Theoretically Solaris, 'gurantees' binary compatibility between Solaris options.

I don't recall all the details.. I believe i made sure both were either 32bit or 64bit, I also made sure Oracle was compiled on 2.7 not 2.8 (I believe I actually did try the other way around, and it didn't work).. and of course i tested with a test db.

I would be extremely careful though.

We use Oracle 8.1.7.4 and 9.2.0.6/7 on Solaris 2.7 and RH4 remove NSPAM to email Received on Tue Dec 13 2005 - 14:48:44 CST
