This is probably a silly question, but are the database files binary portable?
No
eg could I take datafiles from a Sparc and copy them to an Intel machine,
or would the endianness differences kill me?
Yes
How about cross OS (eg from Linux Intel to Windows XP, or from Solaris Intel
to Linux Intel)?
Maybe. Wouldn't count on it though.
In fact the data files can be incompatible because of different
compile-time flags (64-bit integer dates on/off for example).
