[Quoted] [Quoted] Now what additional help does your statement provide?

Is this the kind of help to expect, if you have problems with Oracle? ...people even making fun of you...

In my opinion a database engine should take care to migrate it's versions [Quoted] automatically, *without having to read documentation*, ideally without you even noticing anything but a startup message: "This database needs to be migrated. It will not be backward compatible. Proceed?"
[Quoted] ...especially on minor version changes like 8.0.5 to 8.1.7... All previous features should be available without worries. Why can't Oracle provide *easy* functionality, with all the money that they [Quoted] earn? I am afraid they don't even care.

Kind regards,
Carl
