Hi Everyone,
It's me the neophyte dba again...I'm eager to patch our db's from
10.1.0.2 to 10.1.0.4, with the later being a prereq for the July 2005
Critical patch. We have no db's in production yet and have three
vendors involved in this project. Internally, my request to patch our
existing dev db's is met with extreme caution. The concern being that
the vendors may or will not offer support if they haven't tested the
patch themselves. Is this a normal situation? Personally I agree that
we want have good relationships with the vendors, but I think they
have a responsibility to respond to critical patches (install test and
support to that level) in a timely manner.
To date I've informed my PM's that their is a critical patch for the
db's and that since July the vulnerabilities are now public knowledge.
Not sure if there's anything else I can or should do. Oh ya...I'm
documenting this to cma.
Any words of wisdom are greatly appreciated.
Brian Peasey
