Re: Re:Should we upgrade from 9.0.1.2 to 9.2?

To be clear: 9.0.x will *NOT* have any EAS (extended 
support) either after June 2003. Gruesome.

Yechiel,
Are you serious about support for 9.0.1 will go away about June 2003? :(
If that's true, I would reconsider my point to uprade to 9iR2.

 Hello Cherie

 I think that I saw somewhere that support for 9.0.1 will go away
 about June 2003 while support for 9iR2 will be until 2005.

  Thanks for your comments.   So, the bottom line is that you are
  recommending moving from 9.0.1.2 to 9.2?

  Cherie,
 
  For the most part I don't like using version X.0 at any point.  Now
in
  version 8, I did get onto 8.0.5, but I did wait for the .5 to show up.
  With 8i
  it's 8.1.6 that was our baseline although I'm a lot happier with 8.1.7.
  For 9i
  I won't touch anything before 9.2, which is waiting for a test home
right
  now.
  On the other hand I think it's a pretty wise idea to be on the latest
  version
  before going into production since that way you have a longer period of
  time
  before having to upgrade again.  I just like having some other poor slob
  find
  the bugs first.

  We have a couple of new applications in development that are moving to
QA.
  These databases are currently running 9.0.1.2 on Sun Solaris 2.6.
We've
  been pretty happy with this version to this point but are at a pivotal
 spot
  in our product development cycle where we have a narrow window in which
we
  could upgrade to 9.2 before we finish our QA cycle and move the
  application to production.We will be moving to production in the
  September timeframe.
 
  I know that 9.2 hasn't been out that long so I'm not sure how many
people
  are using it.   For those that are using it, what has your experience
 been?
  Is it very buggy?   Any major problems?
 
  We have an OLTP database, a smallish datawarehouse that uses
partitioning,
  and some datamarts that also use partitioning.   We do not use MTS or
  replication.   Our character set is UTF8.  We will be essentially 24 X
7.
  These are web-based front-ends.
 
  What do you guys think?   This OLTP database is very mission critical
for
  us, once it gets to production.   Is it worth moving to 9.2 at this
point
  or should we wait awhile until a couple more patchsets come out?   How
 long
  do people wait for a new release to settle before they move to it?
