Cherie,

Oracle 8.1.6 is a new install (new Oracle Home). The upgrade is (depends on your environment) at least one script.
In the 'migrate guide' there's a good description.

I've done a mamual upgrade (not a production db) and it took about 2 hours, the db was about 2 Gb.
The upgrade / migrate script also runs 'catalo' and 'catproc' so your objects will be invalid. This was / is the longest part.

There's already a patch to 8.1.6.2 (on ibm-aix) hth

Is there some sort of megapatch or patch bundle that can be downloaded to upgrade from 8.1.5 to 8.1.6?

Is this a fairly simple upgrade that can be done sort of transparently to the users? Or is it a major upgrade that is more appropriate to be done with a CD and a regular upgrade maintenance window of a day or two of system downtime?

TIA, Cherie
