Oracle7 and Oracle8 Migration and Upgrade Requirements
Oracle7 and Oracle8 database migration and upgrade procedures on Windows 98 are covered in Oracle8i Migration. This section describes several Windows 98-specific issues to understand before following the instructions in Oracle8i Migration.
Migrating from Releases Prior to 7.3.4
If the database release is prior to Release 7.3.4, migrate it to at least Release 7.3.4 before using the Migration Utility or Oracle Data Migration Assistant to migrate it to Release 3 (8.1.7). See the documentation that accompanied your previous database release for information on how to migrate it to Release 7.3.4.
Using Oracle Command Line Tools with the Migration Utility
If you use the Migration Utility to migrate or upgrade your Oracle database, the instructions in Oracle8i Migration prompt you to enter information at the command prompt of an Oracle tool. The command tool to use (SQL*DBA, Server Manager, or SQL*Plus) depends upon the database release from which you are migrating or upgrading. This table describes the tools to use and the method for starting these tools:
