   Hi all.   
      
   I have some specific questions on migrating a Oracle 8.1.7 database from   
   AIX to Windows.   
      
   I know something very similar has been asked before, but I can't seem to   
   get some unique recommendations on where to start.   
      
   I have understood that I cannot simply copy the db-files and start up the   
   db on the windows machine. I guess that would have been too easy, huh :-)   
      
   Well.. I get the idea about using export/import for the data part, but..   
      
   What about the table definitions ? Could I somehow on my AIX-oracle   
   generate a script, that could create the tables on my windows-oracle ?   
      
   What else would I need to consider before doing this migration.   
      
   P.S. Please, do not begin to discuss *nix vs. windows religion here.   
   The decision has been made... just need to know what I am about to dive   
   into :-)   
      
   Thanks alot for any help, directions, whitepapers..whatever :-)   
      
   Regards,   
   Søren Alexandersen
