    Upgrade to 10g from 8i.

    I’m in process of migrating eight 8.1.7 (old server) databases to 10gR2 (new server). These are fairly small database, but has lots of dblinks and synonyms. What would best approach to do it? Any suggestion would be greatly appreciate it.

    Thanks!

    I suppose you can afford a small downtime.

    1- Create new 10g database in new server.
    2- Do a full export on 8.1.7
    3- Do a full import on 10g
    4- Update TNSNAMES.ora file on 10g box to match what you have on 8.1.7 box
    5- Test dblinks

    Relax and enjoy.
