RE: Upgrading from 8.1.5 to 8.1.6
OK, I'll make one comment:
If this is unix, bounce all oracle services after you rename the directory. Unix has
a habit of
tracking the file/directory moves if the inode does not change. In other words, if a
file is open
when you move it, the process will merrily keep accessing the moved file until the
file handle is
closed.
Been bit by this once or twice. Moved a couple of directories around and a month
later bounced the
services. Went "Oh S..." when things didn't come back up.

What we do is rename the 8.1.5 directory to indicate it is the old directory
(i.e, 8.1.5_old). If nothing breaks after a week or two, then the directory
and its contents are removed.

After upgrading oracle database from V8.1.5 to V8.1.6, a new directory is
created to store new version's files and the old directory of old version
8.1.5 is still there. Is is safe to remove the old directory to save disk
spaces on the disk? Is there any files being linked to the old version
after upgrading?
Regards,
David

Re: Upgrading from 8.1.5 to 8.1.6
The best pratice is rename the old directory to a new name and wait to see if you have problem. joan "Nelson, Allan" wrote: > > It depends on whether or not you are talking about your old > $ORACLE_HOME.

RE: Upgrading from 8.1.5 to 8.1.6
David Just now getting to 8.1.6? Do you wait for a version to be desupported before you upgrade to it? Just kidding, I'm still on 8.1.6 myself. Are we talking data files or program files? Not knowing how you did the upgrade, it is hard for me to make a blanket statement. Look at file dates to make sure these files haven't been modified recently. If you operating system reports the last access date, check this. As someone just mentioned, don't delete, rename if possible. Ideally you did the upgrade on your test system before you did it on production, so you could delete them first on your test server and verify nothing bad happens. Cross your fingers and hope for the best :-) Dennis Williams DBA, 40%OCP, 100% DBA Lifetouch, Inc.

It depends on whether or not you are talking about your old $ORACLE_HOME. You may still have shared lib dependancies there. You don't give enough information in your post to be absolutely certain so you might consider relinking if this is the case. -Original Message- Sent: Monday, February 24, 2003 9:34 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L After upgrading oracle database from V8.1.5 to V8.1.6, a new directory is created to store new version's files and the old directory of old version 8.1.5 is still there.
