We are in the process of building a new server for one of our customers that is on 10.2B at present and we are going to upgrade to 11.3.1 as part of the migration. DB is a little over 100GB.
If I'm not mistaken, I have three choices:
1) Dump and load flat files
2) Binary dump and load
3) Copy the .db's and all extents (including .bi's) to the new server and run conv1011
While dump and load (either method) would be 'cleaner' and do data compression, the time involved to do this will be quite long. I'm wondering about the feasiblity of #3. The directory structure will remain the same.
Any recommendations or suggestions would be most welcome.
