Re: Moving Oracle 8.1.5.1.0 to different hardware

Hi,

I have very little experience with Oracle, but I want to move a legacy
8.1.5.1.0 database from an NT box to windows 2000. The reason for this
is the legacy database was one of several databases on the NT Box, and
is now the only application / database in use. I have got a smaller
storage server which can run the database to the end of days.

So, anyway...

I install Windows & Patches. Oracle 8.1.5.0.0 no problem, no database
installed.

When I run the setup.exe the advice is to shut down the instance in the
normal way. Because there is no database I can not connect internal and
give the shutdown command.

Can someone enlighten me how to apply the 8.1.5.1.0 patch to a clean
install?

Many thanks

Exactly how did you install 8.1.5 on the new server?

How did you plan on moving the db? (exp/imp, file copies, etc)
