List,
server Alpha ES40
O.S. OpenVMS 7.2-1
Oracle 8.1.7 rel 3

We are starting to migrate our database from a Novell server with Oracle 7.3.4 to the OpenVMS platform and I have a question that needs answers or suggestions.

The sysadmin has set up the required OS parameters that I could find listed in the notes and on Metalink. There are a lot of OS patches recommended by Oracle for this version of the OS and the sysadmin is looking into them. The sysadmin would like to upgrade the system to OS 7.3 in the near furure (09/02-03/02) rather than apply the patches and then upgrade the OS down the road.

What would be the effect on the database if I created a database today and then the sysadmin upgraded the OS in 2 weeks?

Would I have to do any major reconfiguring or rebuilding?

Would it really matter to the operation of the database?

What steps as far as Oracle is concerned should I pay attention to and perform?

Would your recommend that I not create the database until after the OS is upgraded and stable?

Thanks,
Ron
