Two additional things to note if migrating to Oracle DB on V8:
1) If you're using an 11g release of the JDBC driver, you must use at least 11.2.0.2.
2) If you do not grant access to LOBs to the migration user, you will get an error similar to the following:
PLS-00201: identifier 'DBMS_LOB' must be declared
This can be resolved by running something similar to SQL> grant execute on sys.DBMS_LOB to USERNAME;
This access must be granted and maintained even after the migration is completed.
