AW: Unbreakable, my buns. Upgrade to 9.2/w2k .... repost

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

Maybe that's a good opportunity to repost a question before I apply patchsets:

 

I actually planned on applying the Patchset to lift 9.2.0.1.0 up to 9.2.0.3.0.

But while downloading, I saw that 9.2.0.3.0 came out on April, 7th, while

there was 9.2.0.2.1 from April, 12th. In the Readme, it says:

# Earliest version of the product that this patch may be applied to: 9.2.0.2.1

So, what's the way to go ? Apply 9.2.0.2.0 patchset plus patches first ?

Or forget about 9.2.0xxx and just go with 9.2.0.3.0 ?

 

<HELP>

Stefan

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!
