Hello,

not confused yet? here's your chance !

While trying to script Oracle patches for global rollout in our shop I
discovered today that Oracle released a bunch of new patches including a
CPU. It's becoming more and more difficult to know what's best to do. I
wonder what we get tomorrow.

Here's the list sofar as of 20-FEB-2007:

9.2.0.8/win32
---------------------------
Patch  Description  Updated  Size

patch 5
