If you have not used the data types timestamp with % timezone, then if you have 
DSTv16 in you 11g software aleady... $ORACLE_HOME/oracore/zoneinfo, then I was 
successful just upgrading the database with dbua, where during the process it 
suggests upgrading the database timezone using the DBMS_DST after dbua is 
finished.    Seemed simpler to do it after.

YMMV

1.      If the Pre-Upgrade Information Tool instructed you to upgrade the time 
zone files after
completing the database upgrade, then use the DBMS_DST PL/SQL package to
upgrade the time zone file.

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?
