Fred,
Don't waste your time installing 8.0.5 unless you plan to go back to it some
time in the future ("Back to the Future"?). Install 8.1.7 and patch to
8.1.7.2 (or higher).
Copy your datafiles to the new system. Make sure that you copy them to the
exact directory structure that existed previously! If you don't, you will
run into major difficulties, especially if you haven't done a backup control
file to trace!
Read all the documentation on the migration, and perform the migration which
should be relatively painless.

Hello list,
I am attempting to upgrade my database from 8.0.5 to 8.1.7. I had the old
8.0.5 database on a SunOS 5.6 database. I performed a full cold-backup of
the database. The SA then did a rebuild on the server to upgrade the OS to
SunOS 5.8. There is no Oracle software or data on the server now.
My question is: Now that I want to go to 8.1.7, do I have to first
install 8.0.5 and bring the database up prior to installing 8.1.7 and
upgrading, OR ... can I simply install 8.1.7 and perform a migration using
8.1.7 on the old 8.0.5 datafiles? How does this work?
Thanks in advance,
-Fred S.
