Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Upgrade 8.1.5 -> 8.1.6
I have not run into any problems in 816 so far probably because Iam using
2GB datafiles in the test databases so far. I have a necessity to get the
data from 816 database and import into 815 database and so I got all the
problems. We are also on HP/UX 11.0 64bit. Some of my collegues are facing
problems after upgrading to 816, probably they are using 5GB datafiles on
the production databases. Iam attaching the messsage below about the
problems they are facing. I too would be waiting for their problem to be
solved before I upgrade my production databases to 816 as I too am using 5GB
datafiles for production. If anybody knows the solution how to solve the
below mentioned 816 problem, please let us know. It would be appreciated.

Hello everyone -
I've seen a lot of talk about downgrading back to 8.1.5. May I ask what problems you ran into that made the downgrade necessary? I am interested in any comments or war stories anyone may have. We are looking at doing this in the next month or so - someone here is really bent out of shape about not having full DBMS_UTILITY functionality. That's his main reason for upgrading. We are HP/UX 11.0 64bit.
Thanks in advance...
