RE: Upgrade 8.0.5 to 8.1.7.3

I once heard that paranoia is a GOOD quality for a DBA.

I'm sure the person who told me that was out to get me.....

Fear.

I agree with you. Migrate is the preferred method in my tool-box.

Can someone explain why anyone would opt for export/import as a path to do an 8.0 to 8.1 upgrade? Doesn't the basic upgrade just consist of starting the instance on the new ORACLE_HOME and running an upgrade script? Why would someone undergo the disruption and complexity of a full export/import when you can just leave the data where it is?
