Title: RE: Shite of the day





The ways of man (and Oracle) are mysterious and not to be questioned, I guess. If some document said "set the COMPATIBLE parameter to 9.0.2" I would bet it's a typographical error.

Good luck with your database! Let us know what happens. I've upgraded several database from 8.1.7 to 9.2.0 with no problems, if that's any consolation to you. :)

Yes.  But why is it asking for 9.0.2?  I set it to 9.2, 8.1.7, and 9.0.2 just to give it a try.

I guess this is a silly question, but could it be that Oracle didn't like the COMPATIBLE = 9.0.2 since there is no 9.0.2?

You never know.  It might be the some anti-Arabic extremist got loose at
Oracle.  Have you tried:
COMPATIBLE=IX.II..III
???

What asked for 9.0.2?  Are you sure you didn't misread 9.2.0 ?

You said you set COMPATIBLE to 9.0.2 and then started getting these
errors -
 ORA-01571: redo version 9.0.2.0.0 incompatible with ORACLE version
8.1.7.0.0

Sounds like maybe you ran a migrate or downgrade script with an invalid
COMPATIBLE parameter and that's what hosed it.

RE: Shite of the day (now 9i upgrade)

2003-06-06 Thread Koivu, Lisa
Binley, 

If you really want to know, instead of just insulting me outright:

1. I followed Note 159657.1 for a "manual" upgrade.  And in step 31 it directs to use 
u0807010.sql.  I then applied patch 2878462, and went on to apply patch 2761332.  So 
as you can see, I did my homework here.  The problems started when I set compatible to 
a value other than 8.1.7.  I had the database open and operational at version 9.2.0.3 
prior to this problem.  

2. I tried 9.0.2 after trying 9.2.0 because that's what it thought it was.  It's hosed 
anyway.  Why not try it?  Searching Metalink did not reveal any suggestions. 

3. Yes of course the arclogs do not exist, this db was never in arclog mode.  Which is 
exactly why when it started asking for arclogs I was pretty confused. 

I am trying it again and hoping that it works this time. 

I'll tell you what's worry-free:  upgrading on Unix.  Only once in 5 years did I have 
a problem of this magnitude. 

If you have any suggestions or constructive comments, I'd be glad to hear them.  
That's why I posted this problem to the list, along with letting everyone else know 
about the perils I enountered in this upgrade.  I may not post too often to this list, 
but I do glance through the postings just to get a feeling for what others are 
doing/experiencing/testing/using.  

If you are going to post comments of a sarcastic or demeaning tone, aimed at me or at 
anyone else, I suggest you keep them to yourself.  

Lisa

It is worry-free if you follow the upgrade instructions, and not skip around
like you appear to have done.

Did you run u0801070.sql at all? Did you check for any errors it might have
produced? Both your errors indicate there was a problem in that area.

Where did you dig COMPATIBLE = 9.0.2 from? There's no such release. Mere
details, but details are important in a manual upgrade.

If you decide to back-down COMPATIBLE to 8.1.7, did you run the downgrade
script, check the outputs and follow the instructions? You need to do the
following in order:

- run the downgrade script and follow the instructions
- run "alter database reset compatibility;" (OK, this bit is not that
obvious in the documentation)
- modify init.ora and restart

If the database is in noarchivelog, isn't it reasonable that archivelogs do
not exist? As for dropping redologs, k!

Lisa, when you say you "manually" migrated, did you use exp/imp after a
fresh CREATE DATABASE in 9i?  Also, what platform?  32-bit?

Thx!

Hi Ganesh, 

Thanks for your reply.  Still, no dice.  Now it thinks it's in recovery and I can't 
force it to do an incomplete recovery with OPEN RESETLOGS.  The brilliant response I 
got from support is "Restore from backup and try again"

Lovely.  This is the second upgrade I have tried to complete and failed miserably at.  
This is NOT giving me a warm fuzzy about upgrading production.

Oh-My-Gosh.  

Worry free?  I just upgraded another 8.1.7.4 database to 9.2.  When I
set the COMPATIBLE parm to 9.0.2 (or 9.2, which would make sense) I get
really messy errors:

ORA-00402: database changes by release 9.0.1.3.0 cannot be used by
release 135294976

ORA-01571: redo version 9.0.2.0.0 incompatible with ORACLE version
8.1.7.0.0

So then I tried to set it back to 8.1.7, or comment out COMPATIBLE
altogether, and I get the same type of error.  It won't open at all. 

I tried initiating recovery.  This database is in noarc mode.  It starts
looking for arclogs that *do not* exist.  I also tried to drop the redo
log groups and recreate them.  Still, no dice. 

Again, unbreakable my FUNDAMENT.

So has anyone seen this before?  I opened a tar yesterday and promptly
confused support.

looking forward to 20 upgrades several of which will have to be done in place as their 
too big otherwise.

Oh-My-Gosh.  

Worry free?  I just upgraded another 8.1.7.4 database to 9.2.  When I set the 
COMPATIBLE parm to 9.0.2 (or 9.2, which would make sense) I get really messy errors:

ORA-00402: database changes by release 9.0.1.3.0 cannot be used by release
135294976

ORA-01571: redo version 9.0.2.0.0 incompatible with ORACLE version 8.1.7.0.0

So then I tried to set it back to 8.1.7, or comment out COMPATIBLE altogether, and I 
get the same type of error.  It won't open at all. 

I tried initiating recovery.  This database is in noarc mode.  It starts looking for 
arclogs that *do not* exist.  I also tried to drop the redo log groups and recreate 
them.  Still, no dice. 

Again, unbreakable my FUNDAMENT.

So has anyone seen this before?  I opened a tar yesterday and promptly confused 
support.

"Trade SQL Server for Oracle9i Database and get up to 100% license credit 
and peace of mind.

Tired of applying patches? Frustrated with managing mulitple database servers? 
In the time it takes you to apply all Microsoft's patches to your servers, 
you can successfully migrate your database to Oracle9i Database and be 
worry-free. "

I don't understand PR of Oracle. The RDBMS has so much properties which are 
much more better implemented in Oracle than in MS SQL and they choose 
'patching' which *** on both servers.
