Migrating from Oracle 7.x to Oracle 8i will be a step-by-step book that is easier to use than the single piece of Oracle documentation. Will give the read a one-time process that is not covered elsewhere except in Oracle's own documentation set. The book will cover: Reasons to migrate; Migration options; Basic steps to migrate ; Post-migration steps; Upgrading the database; Issues with compatibility; Upgrading applications; Issues with ROWIDs; Troubleshooting the migration process; Platform-specific migration; and Using the new features after migration.
