I would also suggest that you use a new oracle_home location if you are using this machine to run
the RMAN backups on a different (TARGET) server. The RMAN executable and the TARGET database have to be the same version. I have RMAN executables under /home/oracle/9.2/bin and /home/oracle/8.1.7.4/bin so I can use cron to run the RMAN scripts against different versions of Oracle.

pretty painless, all things considered. I'd suggest a good read of the migration manual, and test your upgrade several times in a test environment
before you actually fire it off. Also, of course, backup backup backup.

Subject: UPgrade from 8163 to 9.2?????

Hi
I have couple of Databases runing on SUN E450 Solaris 5.7 with Oracle8.1.6.3.
I'm planning to upgrade to 9.2. Wondering how risky is this process? If

someone have had such situation may share their experience.Please also

suggest what are precausion we need to take care of during migration. Which one is safer, need to install Oracle9.2 into diffrent oracle home
or
upgrade 8.1.6.3 to 8.1.7 and then 9.2
thanks
