Re: Oracle upgrade

Can't say I've noticed it myself, but did it change to "$ORACLE_BASE/admin/SID/dpdump"?

This is the default for that directory, so it is not beyond the realms of possibility that the upgrade updates the directory to the default path. The catalog and catproc scripts contain loads of stuff, inicluding all the DP stuff, so it is likely the CREATE OR REPACE DIRECTORY command was run.heers

You should probably not have a rant at your colleague. I know it feels good sometimes, but "Just because it feels good, doesn't make it right!".
