>which i can use to do this and the best way, before I proceed.
1. The best way is First test complete procedure on your dev database.

2. If it is production database then don't upgrade in oracle 9i. try to upgrade in 10g.It is recent version (except 11g).

3. three method you can use.
1. export/import (if database size is small)
2. through DBUA (db upgrade assistant)
3. manually ---(readme.txt) file read for more details.

Personally i like MANUAL method to upgrade database.

Thanks for reply,

Yes friends now i have decided to go with export/import option.

So please can you guide me to any link or guide for a step by step procedure to move the database using exp/imp.

thanks once again for your kind replies.

Regards

using exp/imp is simple.

Take export of the entire database.
Install oracle 9i in win 2003.
Create database and tablespaces as per requirment.
Create users and assign them respective tablespaces and quotas.
Import the database and i guess the game is over.

The link I posted contains a step by step detailled explainations for each way you can choose.
For instance, for export/import mode see Chapter 8 "Database Migration Using Export/Import" without omitting the chapters "Preparing to Upgrade", "After Upgrading a Database" and so on or you will fail.

Michel

If it is production database then first test on dev db and check performance.

All the best

Thanks for your guidance,

Yes, I will try it first on test.
But a simple doubt is there in my mind. Can you please clarify?

DOUBT: At the time of export if users are updating any tables, can my export capture that. I know that i can use consistent=n to capture it(but again again my exp may left some changes done after export). But I want to start my new database with all changes made by users at the time of export.

Do I have to shut db down. Please clarify

Please how can I achieve this.

then how can you export your database.
But if you able to down your database means you have downtime then export your database when noone is connect to database except export user.

A migration is not something you do when database is open to users.
You have to plan a maintenance window.

thanks a lot,

Now it is very clear to me. Smile

and the significance of consistent=n parameter is not applicable to migration, am i right?


Thanks,

Yes, you don't need to use it as you should not have other users in front of you.

Hi all,

Friends, as on the way to migration, i have exported without warnings and imported the database with some warnings (in test). But i need again your kind support to get perfect idea of every warning i got.

--> I did export full=y without any warning.

--> Then I created tablespaces and users in the target database since the location for datafiles was different than that of source database.

--> Then i imported it with warnings such as..
1. Related to tablespace creation (many).
Error:
IMP-00003: ORACLE error 12913 encountered
ORA-12913: Cannot create dictionary managed tablespace
IMP-00017: following statement failed with ORACLE error 12913:


2. Related to constraint only one.
Error:
IMP-00017: following statement failed with ORACLE error 2270:
 "ALTER TABLE "DEF$_CALLDEST" ADD CONSTRAINT "DEF$_CALL_DESTINATION" FOREIGN "
 "KEY ("DBLINK") REFERENCES "DEF$_DESTINATION" ("DBLINK") ENABLE NOVALIDATE"
IMP-00003: ORACLE error 2270 encountered
ORA-02270: no matching unique or primary key for this column-list


3. Related to view creation.(many)

Error:
IMP-00041: Warning: object created with compilation warnings
 "CREATE FORCE VIEW "ADEEB"."SMINSTALLED_PRODUCT_V"                          "
 " ("INSTALLATION_ID","PRODUCT_ID") AS "
 "select"

IMP-00017: following statement failed with ORACLE error 12154:
 "CREATE FORCE VIEW "VISYS"."ERP_DEPT"                           ("NAME") AS "
 "Select Name"
 "From PER_ORGANIZATION_UNITS@erp.prod.link"
 "WHERE TYPE = 'DEPT'"
IMP-00003: ORACLE error 12154 encountered
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name


I would like to inform you all what i have understood of these errors.

error 1, is because tablespaces were already created.
error 2, child row was trying to be inserted before parent row.
and when i see dba_constraints, i found this constraint is created.
( but here my doubt is , if it is full import, oracle import should know it, and if does not how to solve please tell me)
error 3. is because base table is not present to which view is trying to point. And second kind of error in this category is due to database link created in source database is not available here.


Please clarify me, if i am wrong anywhere.
Please kindly give me more explanation for these warnings.
Finally how can I know that my import was successful 100%.

Thanks very much.

Wrong, it is because tablespace creation statement is for a DMT and you can't create DMT in your database. The solution is to precreate the tablespace and this seems to be what you already did. So you can ignore this message.

Quote:

error 2, child row was trying to be inserted before parent row.

No, this error has nothing to do with data. There is no primary key or unique key on the referenced table, so foreign key can't be created.
Verify the referenced PK or UK existed in source database.
Verify it has been created during import.

error 3: error 12154 is the most common network error. The most likely is that the service declared in database link is not present in your tnsnames.ora. Search for 12154 for more detailed information.

Michel

Thanks very much Mr. Michel,

I guessed correct reasons for my warnings, but could not put it correctly in the post.

And as always you corrected me.

Thanks very much again.

Note: i guess if i do not get any error and warning in import that means it is 100% successful.

Regards

Yes but in your case you will have at least the error from tablespace creation.

Yes, thanks

--> yes, i verify the referenced pk in the source as well as in
the target database, and it is available in both
databasesthere.But there is no data in both the chiland
the parent table.

I am confused, when there is no data in both the tables, why
import gave me this warning.

IMP-00017: following statement failed with ORACLE error 2270:
 "ALTER TABLE "DEF$_CALLDEST" ADD CONSTRAINT "DEF$_CALL_DESTINATION" FOREIGN "
 "KEY ("DBLINK") REFERENCES "DEF$_DESTINATION" ("DBLINK") ENABLE NOVALIDATE"
IMP-00003: ORACLE error 2270 encountered
ORA-02270: no matching unique or primary key for this column-list



Please clarify.

Check again¤ PK AND unique key. Is there any on "DEF$_DESTINATION" ("DBLINK")?

Please clarify, Hence Foreign key is created, when there is no data in referenced table.
