Hi Niall, thanks for raising this. The whole release management of Oracle patches by the vendor is very confusing even for oracle support analysts. I logged an SR about if we have to apply patch 6038279 on top of CpuApril2007 (5916268 aka 9208 patch 6) and the analyst told me that CpuApril2007 for 9208/win32 and patch *8* are one and the same which is obviously NOT the case. I am trying to explain to Oracle that their communication on patches are sometimes very confusing and we customers have to figure out a lot ourselves. It's difficult to assess patches if information from the vendor is incomplete. Regards, Andre 2007/6/5, Niall Litchfield <niall.litchfield@xxxxxxxxx>:
If you are - running windows 32bit - and 9.2.0.8 - and have kept up to date with CPU patching. you will wish to download and test Patchset 8 patch 6038279 to resolve the issues addressed in Note *434527.1.** **W*itout this patch it is likely that your database is unrecoverable. -- Niall Litchfield Oracle DBA http://www.orawin.info
