Obviously this WAS not a production database. If you were not aware that a new OS was being installed and that Oracle was being wiped out then
step 1 Get a competent SA

I do not know UNIX but I would think you have to re-install 8.0.5,
do backup
restore 8.0.5 datafiles,redo,controlfiles,etc. Modify controlfile to point to restored files

Once database is started then you can proceed to upgrade to 8.1.7

I do not think you can do
"can I simply install 8.1.7 and perform a migration using 8.1.7 on the old 8.0.5 datafiles?"

Hello list,
I am attempting to upgrade my database from 8.0.5 to 8.1.7. I had the old

8.0.5 database on a SunOS 5.6 database. I performed a full cold-backup of the database. The SA then did a rebuild on the server to upgrade the OS to

SunOS 5.8. There is no Oracle software or data on the server now. My question is: Now that I want to go to 8.1.7, do I have to first install 8.0.5 and bring the database up prior to installing 8.1.7 and upgrading, OR ... can I simply install 8.1.7 and perform a migration using 8.1.7 on the old 8.0.5 datafiles? How does this work?

Thanks in advance,
-Fred S.
