Erik - I believe the upgrade / recovery manual will have the more concise
definition you seek. Look for the Oracle version you are on and the one you
want to move to and it will tell you whether you need to upgrade or migrate.
With an upgrade you usually just bring up the new version and run some
procedures to modify your system tables. With migrate it is much more
involved. To put things concisely:
   upgrade - good
   migrate - bad
        upgrade - minor, easy.
        migrate - hard, difficult, headaches.

I cannot find a definitive definition of these two terms on metalink. Can
these terms be used interchangeably or is there a difference?

Thanks
Erik
