4: Response to upgrading oracle 8.1.6 to 8.1.7 (response to 1)

I *always* do a fresh Oracle install and then use export/import to move the data.  This has always worked for me.  Frankly, I don't trust the quality of Oracle's migration process.

I don't know if this applies to Solaris, but the 8.1.7.4 patch for Linux causes problems with the INSO filters for interMedia, and I haven't heard of a fix being made available.  8.1.7.3 was ok here, so you might want to check carefully if you need the INSO filters (that is, the capability to index things like Word docs via interMedia).
