That and the fact that we have cut down on the spam.

Hold on just a second there Joel. I did read the docs. And what I found without any problem at all was as follows:

http://docs.oracle.com
Under database I clicked on "Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2)" Then I clicked on "View Library"
Then I scrolled down on page and found "Upgrade Information" and clicked on "Upgrade Guide"

And you will recall that my response to the OP was a referral to the docs website. How explicit does something need to be?

Does anyone ask the dealer to read the owner's manual to them when they buy a car? If there is an Upgrade Guide then it shouldn't take much to conclude that upgrading is possible.

A question such as "here's my situation and should I upgrade" deserves a well thought out answer. The OP's question is implicit in the very name of the documentation on the docs site.
