Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Upgrading from 8.1.5 to 8.1.6
David
Just now getting to 8.1.6? Do you wait for a version to be desupported before you upgrade to it? Just kidding, I'm still on 8.1.6 myself.
Are we talking data files or program files? Not knowing how you did the upgrade, it is hard for me to make a blanket statement.
Look at file dates to make sure these files haven't been modified recently. If you operating system reports the last access date, check this.
As someone just mentioned, don't delete, rename if possible. Ideally you did the upgrade on your test system before you did it on production, so you could delete them first on your test server and verify nothing bad happens.
Cross your fingers and hope for the best :-)

After upgrading oracle database from V8.1.5 to V8.1.6, a new directory is created to store new version's files and the old directory of old version 8.1.5 is still there. Is is safe to remove the old directory to save disk spaces on the disk? Is there any files being linked to the old version after upgrading?
Regards,
David
