I believe you are correct. ________________________________ From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Allan Nelson Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2007 10:35 AM To: oracle-l Subject: upgrading to 10.2.0.3 Hi Everyone, I'm upgrading from 9.2.0.8 to 10.2.0.3 on HP-UX 11.11 and I have a question. The patch notes for 10.2.0.3 contain the following text: 7.1.2 Upgrading a Release 9.2 Database Not Using Oracle Label Security If you want to upgrade an Oracle9i release 9.2 preconfigured database, and you are not using Oracle Label Security, complete the following steps to avoid errors during the upgrade: 1. Use Oracle Universal Installer release 9.2 to install Oracle Label Security using the Custom installation type. 2. Run the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catnools.sql script with the SYSDBA privilege to remove Oracle Label Security components from the database. Now, my question is about the word preconfigured. Does that mean that you used the 9i installer to create a database as part of installing 9i? My 9i database got that way by being upgraded from 8i which was upgraded from 7 so I don't think this applies to me. Does anyone know for sure? Thanks in advance Allan
