Re: Degrade a database??
If I wanted to degrade a database, I'd take it out to a cheap pub, get it drunk, and let it make a fool of itself on the dancefloor before taking it home for some wild bedroom scenes... Next morning, rest assured, the database will roll over in your bed and exclaim: I'll feel so degraded :-) --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello All, We are in the process of upgrading a database from 8.0.6 to 8.1.7.

RE: Degrade a database??
Title: RE: Degrade a database?? I have no fresh ideas but how about keeping a file system backup of your oracle installation and 3 copies (in different locations of course) of a complete cold backup before the upgrade? Or copy the existing database on a similar but separate machine, ready to be brought up, all you need is TNS change. Raj __ Rajendra Jamadagni MIS, ESPN Inc.

RE: Degrade a database??
1. Do not use any 8.1.7 specific features after the upgrade. 2. Take a cold backup while at 8.1.7 3. Run the downgrade script from $O_H/rdbms/admin directory (d0800060.sql). 4. Backup 5. Rollback your changes to all other scripts/files ($O_H, listener file etc..etc..) Best approach: Create a test 8.0.6 database, upgrade it to 8.1.7, make and record a few changes to it. Downgrade it and make sure all the changes are still there. And you understand what you are doing. To CYA even more: Call Oracle Support/Log an iTAR and have them send you the exact steps for such a downgrade :) Good luck. - Kirti -Original Message- Sent: Thursday, September 26, 2002 1:48 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hello All, We are in the process of upgrading a database from 8.0.6 to 8.1.7.
