Hi,
We are planning an oracle database upgrade from 8.1.7 to 9.2.0.6 on
unix box.

we would prefer if our partner could perform this offsite.

Is it common to run oracle database upgrades remotely?

what are the pros and cons.

Appreciate your views.

TIA.
Romi

No problems at all, as long as we have a telnet or - preferred - a ssh
session all is ok to work. It's not very common to have access to the
console ...

Regards,
Ronald.

I telecommute and all of my upgrades are performed remotely. Well, there
is one exception. I do have an Oracle database installed locally in my
home office, but it is just a test database.

I have never had a problem upgrading remotely that would not have been a
problem if I were local.

Cheers,
Brian

Use of the Oracle Universal Installer will require an Xwindows session.
This can be supported by running an xterm through an ssh tunnel.
One could also run a vnc client to a vnc server running an Xwindows
session on the server.

This is covered in the Installation guide which along with the
upgrade/migration guide, I would highly recommend that you read.
