Hello list, I am attempting to upgrade my database from 8.0.5 to 8.1.7. I had the old 8.0.5 database on a SunOS 5.6 database. I performed a full cold-backup of the database. The SA then did a rebuild on the server to upgrade the OS to SunOS 5.8. There is no Oracle software or data on the server now. My question is: Now that I want to go to 8.1.7, do I have to first install 8.0.5 and bring the database up prior to installing 8.1.7 and upgrading, OR ... can I simply install 8.1.7 and perform a migration using 8.1.7 on the old 8.0.5 datafiles? How does this work?
