RE: Patch 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.04 on AIX

I have to upgrade the software and then upgrade the database. Is that correct?

Can anyone point me at the URL for the Upgrade Guide for upgradeing the database from 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.04

Hi John,

The patch set readme states in section "7 System Requirements" that the Oracle Home has to be 10.2.0.1 or higher so: yes, it's possible. I am migrating to 10.2.0.4 on Linux this weekend and we installed 10.2.0.1 and patched it to 10.2.0.4. There is a patch set update 10.2.0.4.2 out which-depending on your setup-you might be interested in (patch 8833280)

Does that help?

Me, but I assume it's standard practice for everyone (I have actually worked in a place where they applied 10.2.0.1, 10.2.0.3 and then 10.2.0.4)
