If you think that's funny, check out MetaLink Note:283897.1...(list of bugs fixed in 9.2.0.6) No, seriously, the list of bugs from 9.2.0.5 is enough to make you laugh, or cry - depending on whether you installed it. I've got a production server/Oracle upgrade scheduled to roll out next week with 9.2.0.5 + security patches :-(. Still debating on whether it would be safer to patch up to the yet-untested 9.2.0.6 or stay at 9.2.0.5. Fortunately, we have not experienced any 9.2.0.5 bugs during testing...yet (fingers crossed)!
