RE: can i restore AIX db backup in WINTEL....

 

  

I nearly was going to write a letter where I would say, gee, all you'd
need to do is change any forward slash UNIX container statements to
typical C:\ windows types of statements in the "from" portion of the
restore, the set tablespace statements, etc.

However, as I thought about it, even for something like a tablespace
backup, you're backing up an object whose very essence relies on
containers which have a different structure in UNIX versus windows. So
I'm beginning to doubt that you can do a restore on Windows using a UNIX
backup.

I've never actually tried it. What are other folks' thoughts?
