Often I will perform NT4 / Oracle 8 at home.

When I return to the office, I would like to just copy the Oracle DB from my
NT4 workstation to our office NT4 Server based Oracle Server.

Is there a way for me to just copy the db's files?  I'm assuming that SID's
with the same name have already been created on both the workstation and
server Oracle.

Thank you,
Doug

Assuming further that the tablespaces and users are the same, then export the
desired tables, etc ( or the whole database ) at home and import it at
work...Remember that you will be replacing tables, etc when you do this, not
updating them....

( Also, I hope it is not a very large database, or you have a large capacity
removable storage device )

Hope it helps,

To reply please remove the 'nospam' part of the address

Hi.  Thanks for the feedback.

Would you ever just copy database (ctl, usr, init, log, etc.) files from one
computer to another?
