Any opinions on which patchset of 9.2 is most stable: 9.2.0.1, 9.2.0.2, 9.2.0.3? We're running HP Tru64. Thanks! Jay Hostetter Oracle DBA D. E. Communications Ephrata, PA USA **DISCLAIMER This e-mail message and any files transmitted with it are intended for the use of the individual or

Given my experience here, stable and Tru64 don't go together. As to the patch number, Oracle support usually requires that you be at the latest patch level. -Original Message- Any opinions on which patchset of 9.2 is most stable: 9.2.0.1, 9.2.0.2, 9.2.0.3? We're running HP

Title: RE: 9i - Which Patchset There are some serious security bugs that you have to either apply patches individually or use 9.2.0.3. Also, I can't help thinking that the older releases (for the most part) contain everything in the previous patchsets plus more fixes. Therefore, if I am going

Jay, We are running 9.2.0.3 On Tru64. Downloaded and applied just three days ago (it came out in March 14th). Took care of two bugs I opened up with respect to subpartition splitting and moving the index subpartition to a separate tablespace. Although it's too early to pass a verdict; it seems

Stephan, I am wondering why would you not rate Tru64 as a stable platform. We are using it for all our OLTP and datawarehouse needs; and it has been quite stable. It's rather unfortunate that HP is retiring it in 3 years. Arup Nanda - Original Message - To: Multiple recipients of list

Ah yes, but they've promised that all the Tru64 capabilities will be in HP-UX by then. And of course, we always believe vendors' promises, don't we? :) Pete Controlling developers is like herding cats. Kevin Loney, Oracle DBA Handbook Oh no, it's not. It's much harder than that! Bruce

I know that one is still wet behind the ears. I was debating whether or not to stay on 9.2.0.1 until 9.2.0.3 has been out there a few weeks. I'd hate to see them withdraw a patchset after I've applied it (like 8.1.6.3 or 8.1.7.2.0). Thanks for the replies. Jay [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/18/03

Please note that there is still a bug for null wait event with 9.2.0.3.0. Oracle promised that it will be fixed with 9.2.0.3.0 but it has not. The bad news is that it has no ETA for it. Hopefully it will be fixed with 10i or 11i. Without fixing this bug, it is very hard to identify the
