Re: 9.2.0.5 database server patch

I cannot say much for Windows, but 9.2.0.5 is very stable on both Linux and Solaris. Please note that I said "very stable", not just "stable". As a matter of fact, some problems with OCI were resolved by the 9.2.0.5 and it didn't make any trouble since then. It's the most boring release so far, it hasn't caused any excitement, it obediently does what the proverbial manual says it should, nothing more, nothing less. With 9.2.0.4 I've hat problems with LOB's. Here is an excerpt from my last communication with Oracle Support:

"Hi Mladen,

This looks like Bug:3110501 OERI:[kdlfkd-7] possible on stream write to a LOB segment Stream write to a LOB segment (including temporary lobs) can fail with ORA-600[kdlfkd-7].

Fixed-Releases: 9205 10g"

I installed 9.2.0.5 and I haven't had any reasons for contacting the nice people from Oracle Support since then. My LOB's are performing as they should.

Thanks, Rodica
