I think we need more detailed instructions for moving data from an existing DB to a new DB. The exporter would be the best way to do that but importing a large XAR doesn't work either when the memory is not large enough so import at the DB level is required anyway for some large XWiki installs.
I haven't tried doing this myself (I don't have a 0.9 wiki to migrate) so I'm not the best placed to help here but I'm pretty sure some 0.9 users are having a hard time so they should speak up!
Have you checked the list archives to check messages about migrating to 1.1.1 from a 0.9 install?
You will see of couple of messages of mine ;) With time I came close to migrate and I documented how I did it in these messages. Mostly the information is available in the Wiki as well but it is a long process to identify what we need and to fetch the information. For this reason this list is a good start but we could also get together on xwiki.org and build a page just around the issue if it makes sense. I don't have the migration done yet, so I am angry for any info you could produce ;)
To make the story short you have to find this information: - install the import/export into 0.9 (see old.xwiki.org for the code)
I think this is the missing link. I couldn't make it work yet on 0.9, so if anyone can help me I'll be hapy and will add the instructions (and code) to the 0.9 upgrade instructions
- fix the database XWD_ARCHIVE mediumblob type to longblob (xwiki.org) - increase the attachment file size limit (also xwiki.org) - increase the heap size used by your servlet container (-Xms : see for example http://java.sun.com/docs/hotspot/gc1.4.2/ for more)
