RE: 10.2.0.4 upgrade - How did it go for you?

Brian,

I have patched my playground RAC cluster (2 node EE) 32bit Enterprise Linux 4 Update 6 without any problems. Following Martin Klier's post I checked for differences in the $ORACLE_HOME/lib and $ORACLE_HOME/bin directories but did not find any (apart from the obvious xxxO files created during linking).

I always prefer to manually upgrade my databases, other posts about an unreliable dbua have always confirmed this.

Personally I like 10.2.0.4 very much, but then again I am not using anything apart from JVM and XMLDB _and_ this has been a playground environment. Also something to keep in mind is that Linux 32bit is probably the most mature platform for patches nowadys.

Hope that helps,

Martin
