Here I am, still at work at 10:00 PM.

A lovely upgrade likely to take all my time until sometime Tuesday.

But enough about my problems.

No wait, there's more... :)

I'm going to upgrade a database from 8.1.6.4 to 8.1.7.4

This database is currently being backed up via RMAN.

It occurred to me a few minutes ago that I have no idea how to make RMAN aware of the new version of database.

I'm relatively sure it will balk at seeing the database suddenly upgraded, without having received some sort of notification first.

I've been checking MetaLink, Robert's book, and the docs, but have not yet determined how to care for this.

Suggestions, advice and coffee gladly accepted.

Pertinent platform info:

Win2k Server SP 2
Oracle 8.1.6.3 EE -> 8.1.7.4 target DB

RMAN catalog on Win2k Server SP2
Oracle 8.1.7.4

Thanks,

Jared
