Oracle 10g R2 Standard to Enterprise upgrade

Hello, I'm using Oracle Standard Edition and I want to upgrade to ENterprise, how do I do that without losing my database and current configuration? Is it possible?

I have tried installing Enterprise on top of Standard and I got a home compatibilities error during check. Not  sure what to do now.

I'm using Windows XP Pro, Oracle 10g Release 2.

Thanks.

Please use Oracle database upgrade assistance GUI to upgrade database to Enterprise edition.

Goto Start > Programs > Oracle_home > Configuration and Migration Tools > Database Upgrade Assistant.

Just to be on the safe side perform a full cold backup if you can shutdown the database or full hotbackup using RMAN before upgrade.

Good luck :-).

I meant the software, not the database.. I've initially installed a standard edition and found out later that some of the codes that the dev implemented requires enterprise edition. It'll still be 10g R2 so am not sure if I need to upgrade the database. Anyhow, I'll worry about the software upgrade first. Thanks.
