RE: how goes 10.1.0.4 testing?

I'm waiting for 10.2. There is no way I would recommend 10.1 to my current employer.

We just applied the "January 2005" 1st quarter patch to one of our 9.2.0.4 databases. The patch process has a bug. It doesn't update the inventory xml file properly. The work-around is to go in and update the file by hand. Talk about crap. It's bad enough that Oracle can't test the database software well enough and they have forced us into this monthly/quarterly patching process. But now, they can't even create patching software that works good enough without *it* having bugs in it.

Looks to me like Oracle has slipped back to the "bad old days" of releasing stuff much too soon before it's ready. And we are stuck with cleaning up after them.

Subject: how goes 10.1.0.4 testing?

I haven't applied it to any lin32 boxes, but have been testing it on win32. So far, no issues.
Just wondering if anyone has hit any potholes out there.

thanks.

Paul
