Thanks all! It appears that I have nothing to patch for version 9.2.0.4.

The issue is that there are multiple patch numbers based on the platform/version and RDBMS vs. Application Server. There is a matrix showing level of risk, what type of security issue. I used these to find the ones I applied to 9ias and 9.2.0.4 databases which were: -App. Server infrastructure database per 301040.1 needs to be upgraded: 4193307 patchset -9.2.0.6 (3095277) and 4193295. There are some gotchas by the way on the upgrade. 9.2.0.6 broke our HSODBC. 4193295 - you have to make a change that was not documented in a patch but in another note I happened to find: change the "453" to "23" in the $ORACLE_HOME/inventory/ContentsXML/oraclehomeproperties.xml file as shown in fix "a" of note:294658.1.
