Re-install would be easier.
Take cold backup.
remove the inventory pointer file.
remove the /xxx/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/* files and directories (save tnsnames.ora, sqlnet.ora, and listener.ora if they are in normal position and see $ORACLE_HOME/cpu/.).

setenv ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE _SID, etc. and install, then apply patchset, and CPU's to bring it back
to where it was (see $ORACLE_HOME/cpu/ for which CPU's have been applied). Received on Fri May 12 2006 - 20:21:21 CDT
