Re: Oracle Installation / DB Administration Recommendations ???

In the last week I upgraded to Oracle 8.1.7 from 8.1.6 on Solaris, it is not a big problem. You can do it.
This link helped me a lot.
http://technet.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle8i/doc_library/817_doc/server. 817/a86632/preface.htm

Good luck.

Padma.
