UPGRADE CATALOG

Syntax

upgradeCatalog::=

Description of upgradecatalog.gif follows
Description of the illustration upgradecatalog.gif

Purpose

To upgrade the recovery catalog schema from an older version to the version required by the RMAN executable. For example, if you use a release 8.0 recovery catalog with a release 8.1 version of RMAN, then you must upgrade the catalog.

Note that UPGRADE CATALOG does not run scripts to perform the upgrade. Instead, RMAN sends various SQL DDL statements to the recovery catalog to update the recovery catalog schema with new tables, views, columns, and so forth.

Restrictions and Usage Notes

Keywords and Parameters

None.
