Scott,

the 'best' method depaends upon you really, however, I tend to do my own migrations between versions using a full export and import. This way I can easily rearrange tablespaces etc to suit how I want it to be - say I need to remove space or add it etc. This method means I have to have both databases present on the server at the same time - but so far that has not been a problem.

The migration assistant does the updates in place in the old 805 database - so you better have a full backup just in case.

On the other hand, do you have a problem upgrading to 817 or 9i because 806 is unsupported now.

HTH Regards,
Norman.

We have an 8.0.5 database server, and need to upgrade it to 8.0.6. What is the best method to follow in order to accomplish this?

Thanks,

Scott Ashby
