That really describes a usual step in applying the 9.2.0.7 patchset.

The database files are still at ( whatever ) the old patch level was ... say 9.2.0.6.

You have to use the patched oracle binaries to open the database.

But then the next step should be to follow the steps in the 9.2.0.7 for patching existing databases ...

startup migrate and run the script to move the database files up to 9.2.0.7 ...

Is that what you are attempting to do?

Have you read the readme ( installation instructions ) for the 9.2.0.7 patchset? Received on Wed Feb 08 2006 - 13:49:25 CST
