You cannot apply redo logs from the 10g db to the "new" 11g database. Be aware that there were some problems just "upgrading" a 10g db to 11gR2 - but, I believe that was fixed if you go directly to 11.2.0.2. The problem is that it would take many hrs to convert a tiny 100G database. You will need to test using 11.2.0.2 to see if this is still true.

What you "might" be able to do is use LOGMINER and apply any of those changes - look at
