RE: Opening an 8.0.5 Database with 8i

Under NT when doing the upgrade from 8.0.5 to 8i the database will be mounted once the 8i services are created (assuming -startmode auto has been supplied). There are various data dictionary objects that need upgrading via the upgrade script (u0800050.sql) so it's a good idea to restrict access immediately after creating the service and before running the upgrade script. I would assume a similar scenario exists on unix based systems.

So the answer is yes - you can OPEN an 8.0.5 database under 8.1.7 but as for successful use - who knows?

Hi

I got a question from a co-worker about opening an 8.0.5 database using
8.1.7
Since I don't have 8.1.7 here to test it, does anybody know wether this is
possible or not ?
I guess not, maybe it can exclusively mounted/opened followed by some script
to upgrade it to 8.1.7 ?

Regards,
Stefan
