Upgrading useing a database export
I am moving databases from AIX to Windows 2008 R2. At the same time, I am also upgrading from Oracle 10g R1 to 11g R2. After much discussion, we have decided that an export / import would be the easiest path to go. Unfortunately, I have only ever upgraded using the upgrade proceedure and on a whole am not overly familiar with export/import.
What I was planning on doing was a full database export on my 10g database, copy the dmp file across, then import it into the 11g databases specifying not to create new objects or append to existing objects.
