ORA-00331 log version num incompatible with Oracle version num

Hello colleagues,
I got this error trying to recover a DB 8.0 in an environment 8.1.x ...
As in your knowledge, is there any way to recover the DB without using the old ORACLE release?

regards
Enrico

Hi there.
No, you will need the old binaries and executables.

To step up to 8.1.x you should export from the old database and import into a new one.

Hi Enrico,

my first answer is no, but if you are really running out of options, then you could try setting compatiable parameter to 8.0 in 8.1.x init file and go through the usual recover process. mind you, this is just making a stab in the dark.

Make backups of 8.0 database, before you try anything.

Good Luck!
