About Dbupgrade Scripts and catupgrd.sql in Earlier Releases of Oracle Database
The function of the catupgrd.sql
script is replaced by the Parallel Upgrade Utility, catctl.pl
, and the dbupgrade
and dbupgrade.cmd
scripts.
In earlier releases of Oracle Database, the catupgrd.sql
Upgrade Utility processed the upgrade. Starting with Oracle Database 12c release 1 (12.1), this script is replaced by the catctl.pl
Parallel Upgrade Utility, and its command-line script, dbupgrade
. The Parallel Upgrade Utility provides both parallel processing mode and serial modes.
The dbupgrade
script calls catctl.pl
to create and alter a set of data dictionary tables. The upgrade scripts also call catctl.pl
to upgrade or install the following database components in the new Oracle Database 12c database:
