Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Upgrading from 8.0.5 to 8.1.7 - Please help
Fred,
You can migrate your 805 to 817 directly. You really need to read the migration documentation - it is pretty straight forward, and will answer all your questions.
You will be doing a migration on a test database first, right? - not the first time on a production database - right? You will be much happier.
If I were you, I would install 805 and 817 both on your machine (different Oracle homes), create a test 805 db and try migrating it to 817 after you have read everything - just to get the feel of it.
After that, migrate your production db, and when all is good, remove the 805 software.
good luck!

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.
