Also want to add after what I stated on challenges of downloads-
If you have a lot of one-off patches to address bugs, (I have an average of
five in my environments) that is where I've found these challenging. If you
have a one-off patch that is in conflict with the PSU, then you have to open an
SR and submit a request to Oracle development to get a "special" one-off patch
to get what you need, (or my favorite- "Please discontinue using the feature
until you upgrade to 11g!" Yes, this was a suggestion on a parallel query
bug! Gotta love'm....:))

I'm just curious what the list's opinion is on these from those who have been
installing them - are they truly "low risk" as described by Oracle in MOS Doc
854428.1, or have you found the reality to be significantly different from the
hype? Of course I would always install in a test environment first, no matter
how low-risk it is deemed to be, but I'm just curious if people are generally
finding these to be more trouble than their worth, or if they have gone
smoothly?
I've never applied a PSU or CPU before, but am considering changing my policy
on that and applying these PSUs either quarterly, or maybe only semi-anually or
anually depending on the level of effort required and how many bugs I find they
introduce once I actually test it.
I was already in the process of preparing to install 10.2.0.4.2, but I suppose
I might as well jump to 10.2.0.4.3 now that it's out. I'm a little scared to
be that far out on the bleeding edge, but we'll test thoroughly and wait a
month or so before putting it in production so hopefully we'll be okay. I'll
report back to the list if I come across any major issues.
Thanks in advance for any feedback!
