Hi, I'd like to add "have a look on patch 10419629 before upgrading and save yourself the time of restoring your 10g database and having to do everything all over again" because that's just what I ran into. That patch should have been mentioned in the doc ID 837570.1 which Paul referenced, real killjoy that one :) Best regards, Robert http://robertvsoracle.blogspot.com On Wed, Aug 24, 2011 at 2:26 PM, Paul Drake <bdbafh@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Howard, > > doc ID 837570.1 - 11g R2 manual upgrade checklist > doc ID 977512.1 - DBMS_DST for 11g R2 > > add some padding here to prevent being flagged for overquoting. > add some more padding here to prevent being flagged for overquoting. > add some more more padding here to prevent being flagged for overquoting. > > Paul > > > On Wed, Aug 24, 2011 at 7:32 AM, Howard Latham <howard.latham@xxxxxxxxx> > wrote: >> >> 10 + 11 >> RH Linux >> >> The upgrade from 10 to 11 doc seems to imply that you have to change some >> timezone files. >> Can I Ignore this is If have'nt used the TIMESTAMP Datatype- >> >> And .. >> >> Why do I get ORa-00723 Initialization parameter COMPATIBLE must be >> explicitly set >> >> When I startup upgrade WHEN I HAVE SET COMPATIBLE ? any Ideas? >> >> -- >> Howard A.
