I can agree with this statement, unless it is platform specific.

When I upgraded my TSM MVS server, going from 4.1.x to 4.2.x required an
UPGRADEDB !

Going from 5.1.1.0 to 5.1.6.2 you do not need to worry about
the upgradedb.

The nomanclature is version.release.modification.patch .

If you are going from one version to another is when you would
encounter the upgradedb. Technically this is suppose to happen
automatically during the upgrade. For some odd reason this does
not happen all the time. Then just manually issue dsmerv
upgradedb.
