In a past life I did a direct migration from 2003 32 bit to 2003R2 64
bit with a simple datafile copy. It was as smooth as one could have
hoped for. To insure minimal issues; prior to the migration I would
want to patch the current DB server to the Oracle release you're
intending to run on the new server.
