I'm guessing that the 9.0.1.0 server software was not installed using the Oracle installer? Did you "tar" it over from somewhere else?
For a server installed using the installer, you'll find a file in "/var/opt/oracle" named "oraInst.loc", which contains the name of the directory containing the Oracle Universal Installer's "oraInventory" directory. Your installer running the 9.0.1.2 patch is checking for that file in "/var/opt/oracle" and probably not finding it. Or, it is finding it and the "oraInventory" directory, but the inventory says that only the client has been installed... ----- Original Message ----- To: "Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, May 17, 2002 3:38 PM > HI - > > I'm trying to upgrade my database from 9.0.1.0 to 9.0.1.2 (Sun Solaris). > The installer tells me there are no files that need to be applied.
