Introduction

The following pages describe how to upgrade applications coded against the Berkeley DB 11.2.5.1 library to the Berkeley DB 11.2.5.2 library (both of which belong to Berkeley DB 11g Release 2). This information does not describe how to upgrade Berkeley DB 1.85 release applications.

For information on the general process of upgrading Berkeley DB installations and upgrade instructions related to historical releases, see the Berkeley DB Upgrade Guide.
