Concerning Solaris 64bit 9.2.0.4. I found this note that says I have to apply 9.2.0.6 before 9.2.0.7. So, I've never done this before, do you have to do post-install procedures twice, catpatch.sql and the like? Ouch. Note:4711930.8 Subject: Bug 4711930 - Solaris 64bit: JRE 1.4.2 not installed by 9.2.0.7 Patch Set install Description When installing the 9.2.0.7 64-bit Patch Set on Solaris 64bit JRE 1.4.2 is not installed if the current ORACLE_HOME is at 9.2.0.4 (or lower). Workaround: Install 9.2.0.5 or 9.2.0.6 before installing 9.2.0.7 or If 9.2.0.7 has already been installed then install the patch for bug 3870317 . This should install the JRE into the ORACLE_HOME -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
