    It is 8.1.7.0 - the contractor installed only to here from some emergency disks. the plan is to upgrade to 9.2+ asap.

    Question about the error messages: I've been told by a consultant that this type of message SHOULD NOT appear in the alert log as its a client side error? Doesn't sit easily with me that one. Any comments.

    I know you've probably called the consultants everything in the book by now but just out of curiosity would it be possible instead of upgrading to do a fresh install of 9.2.0.6 and just import the schemas? Based on the assumption that the database isn't all that big?
    I've got a database that was upgraded from 8.1.6 to 8.1.7.4 to 9.2.0.5 and I've had nothing but problems with it. It's 75 gigs and I'm going to take a weekend here sometime and do a fresh install of 9.2.0.6 and import the schemas. I still have dictionary managed tablespaces for christs sake!

    shawd up! Davey I don't want to hear it
    Oracle it's not just a database it's a lifestyle!

    I'd feel more comfortable doing that anyway Doc. I have 3 Oracle Homes now and 1 Db at 9.2.0.5 and 1 Db at 8.1.7.0. I believe that the 9.2.0.5 one was a fresh install and an import whilst the 8.1.7 one was an 8.1.5-8.1.7 upgrade.
