Ana,

At the top, when I choose Oracle and my OS (Solaris SPARC 32) it does not give me any patches for 10.2.0.1....

However, when I go down and choose RDBMS Server and choose my OS (Solaris SPARC 32) it gives me 2 patches, but neither are for 10.2.01. does it really matter between 10.2.0.1 and 10.2.0.2??

Patch #: 5345437
Patch #: 6708377

Also, I thought there were patches to 10.2.0.3???

Thanks again!
