DB migration from 8i to 10g

hi,

I have oracle 8i DB with 100 GB size. Now want to transfer it to oracle 10g.
It would take very long time if Export/Import is used.

is it possible to clone the DB from oracle 8i to oracle 10g?
How we can perform this task, Please advice.

Thanks,

you must either export 8i and import into 10g

or upgrade your 8i db.

You can't "clone" and "upgrade" in a single step.

You could clone to another 8i copy first and then upgrade the clone.
that wouldn't save you any time but would allow you to run both versions in parallel to check if everything is ok.
if you do export/import remember to use the corect versions of each.

Export with 8i exp

Import with 10g imp
