Re: Solaris 8.0.4.4 Upgrade to 8.0.6

8.0.6 is very stable (at least in my site) so far. I've upgraded all my Oracle 8.0.X databases to 8.0.6 recently.

The upgrade path is very easy. I don't think it's worth the time to do the export/import in upgrade, unless you want to clean up all the fragmentation and your users will not scream at you for marking tons of downtime.

:)

So.. no horror story to tell..

Subject: Solaris 8.0.4.4 Upgrade to 8.0.6

All

we are currently on 8.0.4.4 on Solaris 2.6 and planning going to 8.0.6.....(have tested it to see that the upgrade works in principal)

anybody out there had (bad) experience with this process - and horror stories to tell?

any recommendations w.r.t. upgrading current database to 8.0.6 or creating a
new DB as 8.0.6 and importing all data from the 8.0.4 database?

Any comment on moving to 8.1.6 instead of 8.0.6 (beside all the new features?)

TIA Peter
