All the bugs? Possible? Perhaps... Reality? Nope.

The crippling bugs with SMU appear (at first glance) to be fixed in 9.2, but there is no shortage of other bugs. The first one I found was with many queries against the data dictionary being 70-180 times slower! I'm running 9.2.0.1 on Linux - exclusive and RAC - but not yet production. On the 9.2.0.1 RAC nodes, I'm getting tons of trace files with CMInit warnings, but support said "Don't worry. Be happy. Its OK" Searching for patches for 9.2.0.1 on Linux, I get 22 hits. Most are related to some bug ;)

Dave - Can you post the bug number? I searched Metalink and couldn't find any matches for 9.2. Is it possible that Oracle fixed the bugs by 9.2?

Can anybody tell me what the track record has been for Oracle 9.2? Has it
been reliable and stable?

We have clients asking us about Oracle 9.2 and I would like to gather some
experience from the field on how reliable it has been.

Most of our clients are running Windows NT/2000, some are running UNIX. Appreciate any feedback anybody can provide.

Thanks a lot.
