Hi,

I have very little experience with Oracle, but I want to move a legacy 8.1.5.1.0 database from an NT box to windows 2000. The reason for this is the legacy database was one of several databases on the NT Box, and is now the only application / database in use. I have got a smaller storage server which can run the database to the end of days.

So, anyway...

I install Windows & Patches. Oracle 8.1.5.0.0 no problem, no database installed.

When I run the setup.exe the advice is to shut down the instance in the normal way. Because there is no database I can not connect internal and give the shutdown command.

Can someone enlighten me how to apply the 8.1.5.1.0 patch to a clean install?
