So, why could you not do just what he is asking ? If you have all the
files of the database (Cold Backup of everything), why could you not install
the 8.1.7 code and then run the migration tool ? The installation of the
Oracle Binaries does not touch the database at all.

Obviously this WAS not a production database.
If you were not aware that a new OS was being installed and that Oracle was
being wiped out then
step 1 Get a competent SA
I do not know UNIX but I would think you have to
re-install 8.0.5,
do backup
restore 8.0.5 datafiles,redo,controlfiles,etc.
Modify controlfile to point to restored files
Once database is started then you can proceed to upgrade to 8.1.7
I do not think you can do
"can I simply install 8.1.7 and perform a migration using
8.1.7 on the old 8.0.5 datafiles?"

Please respond
to ORACLE-L
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.
