Fred,
I'll respond this way. The odma makes its selection on the database to
upgrade based on those available from oratab (with the old database
$ORACLE_HOME). Also the odma default execution will want to start that
database before it upgrades the datafiles. On top of that, I would want my
test upgrades to mimic the production upgrades as closely as possible.
With that in mind, I would reinstall 8.0.5 under 5.8, and proceed from there.

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.
