Oracle support confirmed to me that, for 9.2.0.8 / win32, patch 8 (6038279) need to be installed on top of CpuApril2007 to solve the issue of unrecoverability. Andre 2007/6/8, Andre van Winssen <dreveewee@xxxxxxxxx>:
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.
