Re: 8.0.5 --> 8.1.7 apps upgrade

I've done this in the past:

Install 8.1.7 and create a database (same SID as your current database). Create the same tablespaces and users as your current database. Export your old database and import it into your new database. Be sure to use the same level client software for the export and import. I'd use the 8.1.7 software personally. Point your SQLNet at the new database.

Looking into how to do this.

The 8.0.5 database is on NT. The 8.1.7 is on Windows2000.

I thought I could:
- shut down database on 8.0.5 (on NT)

• copy datafiles to windows 2000 server.
• start 8.1.7 service on windows2000 server
• run cat08005.sql scripts on windows2000 server
• finish other tasks This way I could move the database and upgrade in 1 step. Oracle is saying I cannot do it this way. They are stating I must Migrate the Database from 805 to 817 on a Supported Platform and THEN move the database from one machine to another. To do this, I will then have to install 8.1.7 on my current production server (NT), do the upgrade and then move the database to the new windows2000 server. Is there a better way?

Thanks in advance.
