I did a binary copydb from a Ingres 6.4 (hp/ux) database and tried to
copy the data in a databse on a 2.6 database (intel, redHat linux)
Most of copy transaction went well, but it there were some errors.
(sorry, do not have the errors right now)

Question: Are the binairies from a copy from a 6.4 database compatible
with a 2.6 database. So should I be able to copy al the data from a 6.4
database to a 2.6 database? (regardles of the transfer method of the
data-binairies)


NB. I do not want to use the -c flag, because of low diskspace on the
6.4 machines.

No, not between HP and Intel, not even a little bit. That has no hope of
working.

In that case, create a vnode on the Red Hat box and run the unload there.

Or you can use copydb -c (ascii mode).

I did the copy from the Linux-machine through the vnode I configured.
Total success! Very simple and effecient!
Thanks!

Which works OK as long as you don't mind having it changing stuff on
during copy-out (tabs to spaces, for one), and you have to make sure up
front that your data doesn't contain the delimiter you choose.
