This is fun to read as I wait for oui to finish applying the 9205
patchset.

Oh well...it is our development machine, it is an HP 11 box, and I have
cma (covered my a$$).

   My experience, having worked for software vendors, is that you are
correct. Patchsets generally get a "modest" amount of regression
testing, at
best. Just to cheer you up, individual patches may receive practically
no
regression testing.

Guys,

I don't know if you remember but I complained earlier about ORA-07445,
ORA-0600 errors, database crashing, trace files being generated on :

sql loader processes
moving tables
imports

It was a bug we faced with 9.2.0.5 and it required "based on the bug
number"
getting the one-off patch.  Of course, that was also fun as the one-off
patch instructs you to use the PERL installed with Oracle (which didn't
work
we ended up using /usr/bin/perl with success) - installing the opatch
software, etc.  BTW, I did look to see first if the patchset 9.2.0.6 was
out......so.....

I wondered if Oracle even does regression testing anymore because this
problem was not present with 9.2.0.4.

BEWARE - EITHER GO TO 9.2.0.4 OR WAIT TILL 9.2.0.6 would be my advice
ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE RUNNING 64-BIT ORACLE ON SOLARIS 2.9
