Step 5 - Upgrade a Database

To upgrade a database from release 12.2 to 19.14, we must first create an Oracle Database release 12.2 database. 

Create an Oracle 12.2 database db5.  Select Create a Database, then click Next.

Fill in the information and click Create.

You can see Oracle Database release 12.2 database db5 is created.

Now we will upgrade database db5 from release 12.2 to 19.14 by clicking Actions and then select Upgrade.

Then, select a new database home, for example, OraDB19000_home4.  Database upgrade is also an out-of-place operation, which means the existing home of the database is not modified.

You can see db5 is upgraded from Oracle Database release 12.2 to 19.14.

This concludes Lab 3.
