If you have not used the data types timestamp with % timezone, then if you have DSTv16 in you 11g software aleady... $ORACLE_HOME/oracore/zoneinfo, then I was successful just upgrading the database with dbua, where during the process it suggests upgrading the database timezone using the DBMS_DST after dbua is finished. Seemed simpler to do it after.

YMMV

  1. If the Pre-Upgrade Information Tool instructed you to upgrade the time zone files after completing the database upgrade, then use the DBMS_DST PL/SQL package to upgrade the time zone file.
  2.

Subject: upgrade 10 to 11

10 + 11
RH Linux

The upgrade from 10 to 11 doc seems to imply that you have to change some timezone files. Can I Ignore this is If have'nt used the TIMESTAMP Datatype-

And ..

Why do I get ORa-00723 Initialization parameter COMPATIBLE must be explicitly set

When I startup upgrade WHEN I HAVE SET COMPATIBLE ? any Ideas?
