You will also find links to technical white papers, documentation, a discussion forum and database upgrade services that are offered by Oracle and its partners. Planning is key for a successful database upgrade. Oracle's Database Upgrade Web site provides you with the information you need for every phase of the upgrade process.We are planning a Webinar around some best practices too, so watch this space for more information.
