Google is your friend. Use it.

I took your thread title punched it into google...and what do you know the 1st thing that game up was this. Someone else asked the exact same question that you did.


This link may not answer you question completely, but now you can see that if you do a littl research you can usually find the answer.

Do you realize that you are comparing a database from the year 1997 (8i) with a version from 2005 (10g) ?
Timewaste.

I know what i m asking, if you don't want to provide proper solution, why are you trying discourage someone. I really appreciate to you for your time.

Question is the key for getting more knowledge from depth!

The difference is simple: 8 is very old, 10 is less old.
There should be no reason to install sw as old as oracle 8 unless you need to reproduce something or are working on legacy stuff.
If you are installing a new environment, use new software.

I still have a production system on 8i. If the vendor doesn't want to move, or doesn't support what you need on a new version, you're stuck.

Basically, lots of crap added. 8i stuff should run fine on 10g, but if you used some word that's now reserved you can get bitten. Micro managing DBAs can still play, but there's more automated space allocation if you really don't care. Local spaces, that kind of thing.

Also, RMAN moves from "use it if you like" to mandatory. No more just treating archive logs as files. You have to tell the database or else. I'd read up on RMAN, that's the biggest gotcha I've seen and there's no avoiding it.
