RE: Effect of Upgrading O/S to the 817 database !!!
Methinks NT version 5 is Windows2000 under another name... probably a typo though. Check the certification matrix, but here we are successfully running 8.1.7.4.5. on Windows2000 servers. Windows2000 seems to be more stable than NT 4, from what I've seen so far. Our Windows server administrator certainly things so! There are caveats re. Terminal Server though, check the certification matrix.

Re: Re: Effect of Upgrading O/S to the 817 database !!!
Thanx for your response guys. Actually I did not have to install a new software, immediate after upgrade straight from NT to 2000 it worked like a charm, just started the database and walla, it was up and running, no hassles.

Re: Effect of Upgrading O/S to the 817 database !!!
If ur upgrading from nt 5 to 2000 then he first opt should work. Just install oracle on w2000 and start up the db coz the services are n nt. but if ur goin in for a fresh install of w2000, it is better to create a fresh db and import. Alternatively u can create a db with the same config of existig db and copy the old db folder with that of ur new one. hope this should work. wishes.

RE: Effect of Upgrading O/S to the 817 database !!!
Jackson - It is a holiday for most of the U.S. folks, but hopefully someone will get back to you. I am on Unix myself, so of no help to you. My laptop was recently upgraded from NT to 2000 Professional, and the PC administrators said that their experience was to not upgrade the system, but to reformat the hard drive, fresh install Windows 2000 and then reinstall everything. I think your existing Oracle software should be good to reinstall, but you should check the compatibility on http://metalink.oracle.com. And of course you will be doing this on your test machine before you jeopardize your production system. You don't say which 8.1.7 version you are using - 8.1.7.4?
