We are migrating from a 7.3.4.5 database to 8.1.7.3. We have production databases on 8.1.7.3. How do we upgrade our 7.3.4.5 databases to 8.1.7.3. Oracle says to only migrate to a base release (8.1.7) then apply the patchset. We can't remove the patchset from 8.1.7.3. How should I handle this kind of migration?

I would do something like:
1. create a new ORACLE_HOME for 8.1.7
2. migrate from 7.3 to 8.1.7 (this is direct)
3. patch it up to 8.1.7.3
4. test it
Of course following all the instructions for a migration. Once tested move it to production with export/import. You really wouldn't have to patch it up but it doesn't take long and wouldn't hurt.
This is just a suggestion. I would have both a good cold backup and export of your version 7 database before you start. Also have a good backup of your production DB before you import. Good luck.
