When I import using the fromuser=LI, I get the messages that it is skipping tables. If you think I should continue with the 9i server, here is the info you asked about. Do I need to load the 7.3.4 client on my laptop and then the odbc drivers for 7.3.4 or will the 9i client and odbc connect to the 7.3.4 data? Maybe a better/easier course would be to odbc to the existing 7.3.4 NT server. The data is on the 7.3.4 server now so the export is using that utility. I am using the 9i import utility since I could never find the cds for 7.3.4.

Among other things, you will be VERY lucky if it runs on today's operating systems. Trying to create a working 7.3.4 so many years after it became obsolete is bound to create major headaches.

(Please note that 7.3.4 exports CANNOT be imported into Oracle 10g). I checked the compatibility matrix, and exports from 7.3.4 can be imported into Oracle 9i and earlier releases. Naturally, your situation is a little more complex, but I would seriously consider this approach rather than trying to lay your hands on an old 7.3.4 install CD.

We created an 8.0.6 instance ahead of time and, when we were ready, exported all the data from the production 7.3.4 database and imported it into 8.0.6. In fact, that was our strategy years ago when we upgraded from Oracle 7.3.4 to 8.0.6. An Oracle export from a 7.3.4 database can be imported into a database running a later version of Oracle. You don't need to install Oracle 7.3.4 to create a test environment for this conversion.
