Here's another update to this mess.  Not only does the patch process have a
bug, the updated database is throwing an ORA-600 bug caused by the patch.
Anybody want to guess Oracle's resolution?

Upgrade to 9.2.0.6 - but first back the patch out.

Un-freekin-believable.  

We are going to back the security patch out.

I'm waiting for 10.2.  There is no way I would recommend 10.1 to my current
employer.

We just applied the "January 2005" 1st quarter patch to one of our 9.2.0.4
databases.  The patch process has a bug.  It doesn't update the inventory
xml file properly.  The work-around is to go in and update the file by hand.
Talk about crap.  It's bad enough that Oracle can't test the database
software well enough and they have forced us into this monthly/quarterly
patching process.  But now, they can't even create patching software that
works good enough without *it* having bugs in it.

Looks to me like Oracle has slipped back to the "bad old days" of releasing
stuff much too soon before it's ready.  And we are stuck with cleaning up
after them.

I haven't applied it to any lin32 boxes, but have been testing it on win32.
So far, no issues.
Just wondering if anyone has hit any potholes out there.

thanks.
