Hi Michel,

Thanks for you post. I have to upgrade our 11.1.0.6. database to 11.1.0.7. I plan to stop the oracle services on windows before the upgrade. One the oracle binaries are updated with the new patch set how should have bring the db up for startup upgrade.

If I start the service, the db fill be up and running. If I don’t start the servie then the db will not come up.

Once the ORACLE_HOME is upgraded to 11.1.0.7 can i just start the service without bringing up database in order to do “STARTUP UPGRADE” . I know its a basic question but I am a unix guy just moving onto windows.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you _SO_ much! I have had a TERRIBLE time trying to locate even just the patch from within Metalink and Oracle’s site. They have gotten just too big.

Opinions aside, this post has been most helpful in getting us our database server back up and running.
