and set COMPATIBLE = 8.0.6 to keep out new features. Henry

Take a cold backup while at 8.1.7 3. Run the downgrade script from $O_H/rdbms/admin directory (d0800060.sql). 4. Backup 5. Rollback your changes to all other scripts/files ($O_H, listener file etc..etc..) Best approach: Create a test 8.0.6 database, upgrade it to 8.1.7, make and record a few changes to it. Downgrade it and make sure all the changes are still there. And you understand what you are doing. To CYA even more: Call Oracle Support/Log an iTAR and have them send you the exact steps for such a downgrade :) Good luck. - Kirti -----Original Message----- Sent: Thursday, September 26, 2002 1:48 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hello All, We are in the process of upgrading a database from 8.0.6 to 8.1.7. The upgrade is not a problem. We have been asked to come out with a fast rollback strategy in case we have to fall back, say after a week, to the 8.0.6 database with no data loss. Any fresh ideas?
