If ur upgrading from nt 5 to 2000 then he first opt should work. Just install oracle on w2000 and start up the db coz the services are n nt. but if ur goin in for a fresh install of w2000, it is better to create a fresh db and import. Alternatively u can create a db with the same config of existig db and copy the old db folder with that of ur new one. hope this should work. wishes. Regards,

We need to upgrade O/S to Windows 2000. What should we do on the database side, do we need to do a new Oracle 817 software installation after upgrading O/S and try to startup the database or do we need to do everything from scratch, i.e. install software, create database and import ? I tought this should not have an effect on the database, if that the case, do we then need to just try to startup the database after O/S upgrade ? Please help ...your response will be highly appreciated.
