As much as I prefer the command line do it yourself approach, I did have
one
occasion recently where I did use the GUI, and it worked fine.
In the process of upgrading several 8.0.4 databases to 8.1.7, I had
trouble with
one database. Sorry, can't recall the details, but I went over the
checklist several
times and am fairly sure I did all the steps correctly.
For some reason, that one would not upgrade. ( As I said, don't recall
the error
that was occurring. )
Used the GUI, upgrade without a problem.
All the others were done via command line, not sure why that one was a
problem, but
the GUI seemed to know something not included in the manual method.
Kind of like the (unofficial) Bond movie, "Never Say Never Again". :)

and THAT is the reason NOT, repeat, NOT to use the OUI to do upgrades. Do
'em manually, I've had a very good success rate that way. Never trust the
GUI's. Never.

I was not able to upgrade an 8.1.7.0 database to 9.2.0.1.0 on Win2K. I
had
to create a new Oracle home, install 9.2, and clone the database in 9.2.
OUI did not upgrade successfully.

For those of you who have upgraded to 9.2 on w2k:
How many of you have ended up with such a hosed server that you had to
completely wipe Oracle off of it and start with a fresh install (9.2)?
It
was spectacular! I ended up in this situation and I sure hope it's
something I did or didn't do. I sure don't have time for this when I
upgrade my production databases. How I long for those days wading
through
problems in unix... it was so much easier and more enjoyable... I will
say
this was definately a learning experience.
And Tom Mercadante, your document worked like a charm, and saved my
a$$...
Muchas Gracias!
