Urgent Big Boss..

 

by: nav_kum_vPosted on 2006-10-25 at 11:11:16ID: 17805773

cant we use export and import for taking backups. I am not sure whether exports taken in 9i will get imported in 10g or not because i have not yet worked with export/import in 10g.

Thanks

 

by: ora_pupilPosted on 2006-10-25 at 11:27:54ID: 17805915

Yes you can export from 9i and import and 10g, and vice versa no problem at all.

But if you use data pump, this is only for 10g.

and can't understand wht do u mean by restore that data, is it lost or what exactly is the problem,
can you explain a bit...thnx

 

by: ploubierPosted on 2006-10-25 at 11:49:29ID: 17806072

You have to use the 9i version of exp, and the 10g version of imp.
You can also have a look at DBUA (Database Upgrade Assistant) after 10g installation.

 

by: dbaseekPosted on 2006-10-25 at 11:54:00ID: 17806114

i mean after my installation of 10g. i want to get my data... that was there in 9i....

Is it possible ....if so kindly advise steps ...

 

by: dbaseekPosted on 2006-10-25 at 13:57:16ID: 17807115

somebody there to help me steps for that?

 

by: markgeerPosted on 2006-10-25 at 14:07:15ID: 17807174

Yes, you can export from 9i and import into 10g, that's no problem.  No, you *CANNOT* do the reverse (export from 10g and import into 9i).

Do you need to do an export and import?  That depends.  How and where did you install Oracle10g?  Is it on the same machine as Oracle9i or not?  If it is on the same machine, did you have the install process do an upgrade of your existing database, or not?

 

by: dbaseekPosted on 2006-10-25 at 14:56:48ID: 17807478

Mr Markgeer,

now i am using oracle 9i.....i am going to install 10g in the same machine...
Sir i EXPECT STEPS FOR THAT PLEASE......................

 

by: ploubierPosted on 2006-10-25 at 16:27:47ID: 17807943

1/ Backup your 9i Oracle home and your database
2/ Install 10g
3/ Go to Start menu, All programs -> Oracle -> Configuration and upgrade tools -> Database Upgrade Assistant

This useful tool will guide you through the proccess.
You can also refer to the official Upgrade Guide at http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14238/toc.htm

 

by: dbaseekPosted on 2006-10-25 at 20:47:44ID: 17809155

can you suggest me method to backup the oracle home

 

by: ploubierPosted on 2006-10-25 at 23:47:02ID: 17809776

Sure, stop all Oracle services and copy the directories C:\Program Files\Oracle\, <ORACLE_HOME> (probably C:\oracle\), and all your database files.

 

by: schwertnerPosted on 2006-10-26 at 05:29:45ID: 17811132

What will you going to do?
1. To install additional 10g Instance on the same machine?
or
2. To upgrade the installation from 9i to 10g?

These are significantly different tasks.
Both of them are dangerous.
I will recommend to make full cold backup before doing everything.
See the instruction here
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Databases/Oracle/Q_20825814.html

Do not forget to store the SPFILE and the PASSWORD file.

If you have not experience it will be better to avoid such actions -
they are sensitive and dangerous and you can damage your installation.

can u please help me with some simple steps.............

 

by: ploubierPosted on 2006-10-26 at 23:35:11ID: 17817471

Which step needs to be detailed ?

 

by: schwertnerPosted on 2006-10-26 at 23:44:12ID: 17817500

Samples for what?
For 1. or for 2. ?

Please explain in details what are you going to to.

If you would like to backup some data on 9i instance, to delete 9i instance, to install 10g and to restore the backuped data there is a easy way - Export/Import.

Set NLS_LANG in the Registry to appropriate value.

We did many migrations using this method.
To do this make a schema export (using 9i Export!!!!!)and transfer it in BINARY mode on the machine where the new 10g installation resides.

Precreate the nonsystem tablespaces and users on the 10g server like

CREATE TABLESPACE "TSDMEDICAL"
LOGGING
DATAFILE  'E:\ORACLE_DB_MAIN\ORADATA\MAIN\TSDMEDICAL00.DBF'  SIZE 100M
AUTOEXTEND ON    NEXT 100M
MAXSIZE 32768M
PERMANENT   ONLINE
EXTENT  MANAGEMENT LOCAL
SEGMENTSPACE MANAGEMENT  MANUAL;


CREATE USER LSMEDICAL  IDENTIFIED BY LSMEDICAL
DEFAULT TABLESPACE TSDMEDICAL  TEMPORARY TABLESPACE   TSTEMPORARY
QUOTA UNLIMITED ON TSDMEDICAL;
ALTER USER LSMEDICAL QUOTA UNLIMITED ON TSIMEDICAL;
ALTER USER LSMEDICAL QUOTA UNLIMITED ON TSTEMPORARY;


GRANT create procedure, create session,create table,create type,create view,create synonym TO LSMEDICAL;

After that do a schema level import (using 10g Import!!!!!!).

If this fail and you would like to repeat the import simply dreop the nonsystem users:

DROP USER LSMEDICAL CASCADE;

Using this method you have full control over the process, can also enhance the tablespace locations and table placement.
Of course you have to investigate all nonsystem users and tablespaces on the 8i server.
