Hello Pablo,

I have a few databases and two are around 170g and another is 600g (this also needs a characterset change, btw and I am more concerned in this case as the downtime window is very less). Sorry for the confusion!

And we cannot even use Standbys since they also need to have the same characterset :(

And yes, TTS is out of question.

So... exp/imp is the only option, I suppose.

Thanks very much for the nice tips!

Anyone else who have successfully done characterset migration are requested to share their experience.

Thanks & Regards,
Suhas
