What I can tell from this picture: life's is going on: Patch Set Number of bugs 7.3.4.1 30 8.1.5.1 433 8.1.6.3 636 8.1.7.4 1757 9.0.1.1 801 9.0.1.2 687 9.0.1.4 1392 9.0.1.5 1000 9.2.0.2 1724 9.2.0.3 1439 9.2.0.4 1955 9.2.0.5 2974 9.2.0.6 2605 9.2.0.7 2000 10.1.0.5 2500 10.2.0.2 1173 10.2.0.3 2007 10.2.0.4 4326 p.s. for 7.3.4.1 I calculated the number manually because the document which Oracle provided in the metalink was not "excell friendly" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
