Quick question; how to migrate dbi files from one os type (e.g. AIX) to
another (e.g. HP-UX)?
What are dbi files? DBI is a generic interface to SQL database systems.
It doesn't read or write any files - that is left to the database.
The files (.dat / .dir / .pag) seem to become corrupt after moving them, or
at least can not be read.
.dir and .pag could be DBM. I don't know about .dat. DBM-Files are
platform specific.
Can they maybe be exported in some sort of platform neutral format and then
imported?
Assuming the files are accessed using DBI, your best bet is to write
Scripts which dump the tables into CSV and restore it from there.
