I am being told that I could recover a database under 9i with backupsets
that were backed up under 8i.

 

Scenario:

 

8i database (8.1.7.4) on AIX  

Backup taken using RMAN

Upgrade DB to 9.2.0.5  (that level determined by 3rd party application
only certified to .5)

NO backup taken after upgrade due to time constraints and lack of disk
space for backup

Lose database and need to recover

Restore 8i filesets and recover them under 9i

 

Hasn't happened yet.....we are just projecting....

 

 

 

Can this be done......

 

According to 3rd party vendor  yes with only 3 init.ora settings
