Hello all, This seems like an obvious and common one but I haven't managed to find any relevant Q&As here or on the OTN discussion boards. While remotely running catupgrd.sql to take an instance from 9.2.0.8 to 11.1.0.7 my session was killed... When I got back on, I decided the situation was closest to the situation described under Resource exhaustion in the 11g Upgrade guide and went for: - shutdown abort - startup upgrade - @catupgrd.sql This seems to have just completed successfully but I'd be interested in any responses to the following: - does this seem like the correct way to resume the upgrade - it isn't explicitly documented anywhere. - since its not interactive, I assume its OK to nohup catupgrd - but people don't often seem to do it. Can anyone confirm that it works and doesn't get confused for some reason? cam -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
