The Oracle Database Upgrade Guide 11g Release 2 clearly states that it's
OK to run the upgrade script more than once ("You can rerun the
catupgrd.sql script as many times as necessary").

Be very careful - A collegue once ran an Oracle upgrade script twice and

ended up with a bricked database.

        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?
