RE: 8.1.6 to 8.1.7 upgrade
Rachna - Decide carefully on which 8.1.7 version to upgrade to. Which platform are you on? That may help someone give you advice specific to your platform. Dennis Williams DBA Lifetouch, Inc.

RE: 8.1.6 to 8.1.7 upgrade
I also found that I had to use SVRMGRL instead of SQLPLUS when doing the Java install. Dunno why. HP-UX 11.0 and 11i. I think it takes so long because it is reloading and revalidating the whole entire Java library. I guessing. My 2¢ worth...

Re: 64-to-32-bit "upgrade" (was "8.1.6 to 8.1.7 upgrade")
I did not have a specific problem, it's just that patches are 3 to 6 months behind the 32 bit version, on Solaris anyway. I have 2 bugs fixed in 8163 which is not available...

64-to-32-bit "upgrade" (was "8.1.6 to 8.1.7 upgrade")
Stephane, I've had questions on migrations and upgrades in the past and the final answer has always been: It is always safest to export/import to change what version of Oracle your database uses. It's certainly leaves the tablespaces a helluva lot cleaner than the other methods of migration! Of course, in what most consider a "downgrade" from 64-to-32-bit, I'm not sure the same applies...

It's pretty simple, actually, to change the wordsize. Check out the Oracle8i Migration guide - specifically, page 7-38.

Re: 8.1.6 to 8.1.7 upgrade
For the record, this isn't a migration, it's an upgrade. A migration is changing your database to a new version. An upgrade is a new release. 8.1.6 -> 8.1.7 is a new release, and an upgrade according to Oracle. Migrations imply much more work than an upgrade.

Re: 8.1.6 to 8.1.7 upgrade
Take a look at the Oracle 8i Mogration Guide, part number A86632-01 (available on Technet). In particular, review all the steps in Chapter 7. You can either have the installer do the migration for you, or do it manually. I just did a migration from 8.1.6 to 8.1.7.1.3 on NT 4 Sp6a following the instructions in the document above and had no issues. FWIW, I followed the manual path ;-) Best of Luck!
