Hi Rodd,

We've been running 8.1.6.2 on HP/UX 11.0 32- and 64-bit with no serious problems. One fixed bug bit us, but that was it. Upgrading the database itself was painful, but after the upgrade completed, the database and the code ran (and still runs) fine.

Help the patches are getting to me!!!

I am working on migrating a system from 8.0.5.1 to 8i (HP-UX 11.0 32Bit). I have installed 8.1.6, am downloading 8.1.6.2.1 patchset (it's listed as 8.1.6.2.0 on Metalink I checked with them this AM). While on the phone with the support folks they told me I should be going to 8.1.7.

8.1.6 has been patched 4 times in 3 months with fairly major patches (by looking at the readme's), and is now being superseeded with 8.1.7. Do I even want to continue with 8.1.6.x or should I wait for the 8.1.7 to arrive and go with it? Do any of you have expierence with either/both? Any ideas?

I'm under some time constraints to get this tested and implemented by Nov 15th.
