64-to-32-bit upgrade (was 8.1.6 to 8.1.7 upgrade)

2001-07-19 Thread Jesse, Rich

Stephane,

I've had questions on migrations and upgrades in the past and the final
answer has always been:  It is always safest to export/import to change what
version of Oracle your database uses.  It's certainly leaves the tablespaces
a helluva lot cleaner than the other methods of migration!  Of course, in
what most consider a downgrade from 64-to-32-bit, I'm not sure the same
applies...

BTW, what problems with 64-bit did you encounter?

I did not find on metalink how to upgrade and change
the wordsize from 64bit to 32bit.
Yes, I'm tired of waiting for patches that never
come...

I did not have a specific problem, it's just that
patches are 3 to 6 months behind the 32 bit version,
on Solaris anyway. I have 2 bugs fixed in 8163 which
is not available...

Also, we will not have that much ram available so I'm
ok with the 32 bit version.
