I have a large (several Gb) berkeley db that I am thinking of migrating from windows (2K) to Linux (either Redhat or Ubuntu). I am not sure how to go about this. Can I merely move the db files accross, or do I need a special conversion utility?

A:
There's a cross-platform file transfer utility described here.
You may also need to be concerned about the byte order on your machine, but that's discussed a little here.
If you're using Java Berkeley though it shouldn't matter?

I am using the C++ binding. BTW, I looked at the link you provided. I am not sure that it migrates data, instead, it seems to allow browing of files accross different platforms - unless I am mistaken?

Are there any other suggestions?. I dont think this is the correct answer...

I thought that this utility might handle file compatibility issues transparently. I think though if you address getting the OS's to play nice, and then getting Berkeley DB to play nice on your other platforms, then you should be set. Anyway, best wishes; my knowledge is tapped out with your question.
