Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Upgrade 7.3.2.1 to 8.0.5 or 8.1.5 on DEC UNIX
Hi,
our customer has Oracle 7.3.2.1 on DEC UNIX. We have found a big error
in this version on DEC UNIX: Oracle writes trace files and loads this
trace files into shared memory. After some time of working no new
process can connect to the database. Then you cannot shutdown and
startup Oracle! Now we know the environment variable to stop Oracle from
writing these trace files, but we want to go ahead from this buggy
version.
Our dealer told us that Oracle 7 is not supported longer then this year.
So we must upgrade to Oracle 8. We have embedded SQL in C programs and
use ODBC. Is it a big task to go from Oracle 7 to Oracle 8? Any
experiences? And which version to choose? 8.0.5 or 8.1.5?
Thank you in advance!
