Re: upgrade Oracle 7.3.2 -> 7.3.4

Hi:

The steps are like following:
1 install Oracle 7.3.4 software, you can install it in a new Oracle Home, or just overwrite the 7.3.2 software.
2 copy and modify init.ora and config.ora file, make sure the new Oracle 7.3.4 software can use it to open your old database. 3 startup and open the database using 7.3.4 software 4 run cat7303.sql,cat7304.sql in internal 5 run catalog.sql, catproc.sql in internal

While run the required sql scripts, your database should be mount and open, or how can you run sql scripts?

Good luck.

Michael.
