Questions on Migrating/upgrading using datapump
We have decided on using datapump imp/exp with full database option.
expdp system/password@db1 full=Y directory=TEST_DIR dumpfile=DB10G.dmp logfile=expdpDB10G.log impdp system/password@db2 full=Y directory=TEST_DIR dumpfile=DB10G.dmp logfile=impdpDB10G.log
My questions are:- Since the platforms are different endianess, is a conversion required to do the import?
- How should the new DB be prepared before the import? (blank database, no tablespaces, pre-created tablespaces, no users, pre-created users?)
