Re: Upgrade from 7.x to 9i release 2

You will need to search for Novell information before starting your upgrade. If memory serves, you had to be at 7.3.4 in Novell before you could do an upgrade, but you should check that. Unless you're already at 7.3.4. If you can't get the old docs on this you might have to check with Oracle support. Take the approach that you're a 9i2 customer who needs help getting this old data into your new 9i database.
