Oracle Upgrade on VMS

robert70 — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 13:25:31 GMT

Hi,
We are about to look into an Oracle Upgrade from 9i to 10g on VMS Platform (V7.3-2).

Is there a good source for information on this anywhere?

Many Thanks
Robert

I know nothing, but I'd start at Oracle.

On our Alpha OpenVMS 7.3-2 we were able to upgrade to ORACLE 10g client because our databases were on a back-end server. However, there were all sorts of issues. Not the least of which is that there is a published bug for an ORACLE Server (or Enterprise Server) for the 10.2.0.4 version of the server code. Search this forum for ORACLE + Install and you might find a few references.
