Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Upgrading from 8.0.5 to 8.1.7 - Please help
This is not a production database. It's just a reporting machine.
Which document are you referring to? The migration guide for 8.0.5 or for
8.1.7? The 8.1.7 guide does not mention a migration process for a
non-installed 8.0.5 software. Does this matter?
Much thanks,
-FS

>Hello list,
> I am attempting to upgrade my database from 8.0.5 to 8.1.7. I had the

>8.0.5 database on a SunOS 5.6 database. I performed a full cold-backup of
>the database. The SA then did a rebuild on the server to upgrade the OS to
>SunOS 5.8. There is no Oracle software or data on the server now.
> My question is: Now that I want to go to 8.1.7, do I have to first
>install 8.0.5 and bring the database up prior to installing 8.1.7 and
>upgrading, OR ... can I simply install 8.1.7 and perform a migration using
>8.1.7 on the old 8.0.5 datafiles? How does this work?
>
>Thanks in advance,
