I used it recently on a W2K box, worked fine, no problems, no
hassles... took a while to do the upgrade so don't panic if it seems to
be taking a long time

Hi
I'm about to upgrade 8.1.7 db to 9.2 db.
Platform is AIX.
Database Upgrade
We did AIX 4.3... financials instances
Upgrade takes HOURS... it upgrades to 901 first, if you read the logs, and
then to 9.2
Process took half a day for one of our instances, then several hours to
recompile invalids, then we had to upgrade spatial, intermedia.
But... yes, pretty straight forward
Vladimir - Since I don't see a reply posted to your question, I'll make an
attempt. I haven't had much direct experience with this tool, but like any
tool it may cause problems under some circumstances. I think Oracle has
laudable goals for giving everything a GUI interface to please those who
I was told that the tool creates, and uses, SPFILE after the upgrade...

I'm not using the dbua since I cannot use X applications from home due
to the firewall we have.
I've now upgraded 3 8.1.7.3 databases to 9.2.0.2. One of these was a
very little play database I created just to test the upgrade process.
The other 2 are fairly small (35-40 GB) test databases.
Igor,
It depends.
If you are not aware of what the tool does, you will get caught by surprise (like my
co-worker;) May be there is an option to not create the SPFILE.. I didn't use the tool
when I upgraded a few my databases to 9i.
But, AFIAC, I am staying away from SPFILE, as long as
Only if you're not aware of it. I started editting init$ORACLE_SID.ora like
crazy
and parameter changes would have no effect whatsoever. I thought for a
moment that I've
enterd the twilight zone but then I resorted to the unthinkable: I read the
documentation.
I know I shouldn't have done it, but,
Kirti,
Thanks.
My question was not in regards to the tool, but in regards to use of SPFILE
in general.
