Oracle Gurus,
I seem to be running into memory leaks on an 8.1.7.0 database on
Solaris 8. After searching metalink and reading some patch release notes,
it looks like we might be having problems with the XML parser and/or LOBs.
We are thinking of upgrading to 8.1.7.3, but I am a little leery after
Kevin Toepke posted this message a few weeks ago:
First of all, there are some serious problems with 8.1.7.3 that can
cause database crashes and corruption. One bug (may be solaris
specific) can crash the box. I would highly recommend that you "only"
upgrade to 8.1.7.2 unless absolutely necessary. We have downgraded
all of our 8.1.7.3 databases to 8.1.7.2 (a *very* painful experience)
...

Kevin makes it sound like a terrible patch. What do all of you think that
have gone to 8.1.7.3? Was it worth it? Anyone using LOBs and/or XML
utilites with this release?
Thanks,
Alan Aschenbrenner
