Here is a quick questions...for Compaq/Digital TRU64

to upgrade my 8.1.5.0.0 DB to 8.1.7.1.2, do I have to upgrade to 8.1.7.1.0 and then 8.1.7.1.2

OR

go from 8.1.5.0.0 to 8.1.7.1.2 ???

Thanks in advance.

The way you would do it is first upgrade it to 8.1.7 base and then apply the patchset to the base.

What if I only want to the upgrade my DB, not the software ?

We have multiple instances using the same version of 8.1.7 software in the /oracle/product/8.1.7 directory. That code has already been upgraded to 8.1.7.1.2, now what do I do to upgrade my database, the DD, etc.

Is that needed, I would think so ???

Sure, just follow the steps in the README from where you have to run the CAT* scripts.
