Oracle Error ORA-00201
ORA-00201: control file version <num> incompatible with Oracle version <num>
Cause: The control file was created by a different version of Oracle.
Action: Either Restart with version of Oracle used to create the control file. Use the CREATE CONTROLFILE command to create a new control file that is compatible with this release.
There are 2 variants of this erro ORA-00201r:
a> If the message reads
"control file version incompatible with Oracle version"
with no version numbers then the controlfile is probably
corrupt or at a bad offset if on a raw device as we report this
error if the block type of the header is not recognised as a
controlfile or backup controlfile.
b> If the message contains version numbers then:
Check whether 'compatible' is defined in the init<sid>.ora
Check the alert_<sid>.log for the last setting of 'compatible'
This error can occur when the db was started with 'compatible'
set to one value and then after shutdown, on restart
'compatible' has been changed.
