This is a process of migration that you have to use to migrate the schema from 6 to 8. Please refer the migration doc for details. I'm not here whether you could use the oracle migration work bench or not. I would suggest that you refer the docs before you proceed.
Good luck,

You can allways use Oracle's export utility. Export your Oracle6 and import it directly to any subsequent edition (7.*, 8.*).

Jurij, here wouldn't the export utility differ from version to version? Doesn't he have to migrate first to 7 and then from 7 to 8?
I waguly remember looking at some kind of steps that you have to follw to migrate from 6 to 8?

No, exported dumps are upward compatible. I've done it personaly, without any troubeles - performed an export on Oracle6 and imported the dump directly into 8.0.5 (but it could also have been 8.1.*). I've read in the documentation you can even import into 8i the dump exported from Oracle version 5 !!!!
As a matter of fact, this is the only possible way to migrate directly from 6 to 8.*. The lowest acceptable release for the migration utility for migrating to 8i is 7.3, so you'd have to exp-imp at least from 6.0 to 7.3 and then migrate from there on.It's not worth the trouble, it's better to use imp-exp directly from 6.0 to 8i
