[SunHELP] steps to install oracle 8 database on solaris 8 $ 9

[listmail]

I second these comments.  Although we are still stable on 8.1.7.4, I 
have a 9.2.0.6 quality assurance instance which is at least 6 months old 
and has been rock stable, although not load tested.  Preparing for the 
upgrade can be pain in the ass with all the documents to follow and 
considerations.   After its streamlined you can get it done in a day 
including invalid object recompiles, give more time if you are on 
E-buiness and have to apply additional patches and if you choose to 
convert to OATM.
