Title: Unbreakable, my buns. Upgrade to 9.2/w2k

I have upgraded 16 databases ( manually using the scripts and procedures in metablink as a guide ) with very few problems and only then on the 1st ones I did.

We were going from 8174 ro 92021 on Win2k SP3.

For those of you who have upgraded to 9.2 on w2k:

How many of you have ended up with such a hosed server that you had to completely wipe Oracle off of it and start with a fresh install (9.2)?  It was spectacular!  I ended up in this situation and I sure hope it's something I did or didn't do.  I sure don't have time for this when I upgrade my production databases.  How I long for those days wading through problems in unix... it was so much easier and more enjoyable...  I will say this was definately a learning experience.

And Tom Mercadante, your document worked like a charm, and saved my a$$...  Muchas Gracias!
