The Oracle Database Upgrade Guide 11g Release 2 clearly states that it's OK to run the upgrade script more than once ("You can rerun the catupgrd.sql script as many times as necessary").

Be very careful - A collegue once ran an Oracle upgrade script twice and

ended up with a bricked database.

        Hello all,         

        This seems like an obvious and common one but I haven't managed to

        find any relevant Q&As here or on the OTN discussion boards.         

        While remotely running catupgrd.sql to take an instance from 9.2.0.8

        to 11.1.0.7 my session was killed... When I got back on, I decided the

	situation was closest to the situation described under Resource
	exhaustion in the 11g Upgrade guide and went for:
	


	- shutdown abort

	- startup upgrade

	- _at_catupgrd.sql

	
	This seems to have just completed successfully but I'd be
interested
	in any responses to the following:
	


	- does this seem like the correct way to resume the upgrade - it

isn't
	explicitly documented anywhere.


	- since its not interactive, I assume its OK to nohup catupgrd -

but
	people don't often seem to do it. Can anyone confirm that it
works and
	doesn't get confused for some reason?
