Thanks Bruce.

I like their button that leads to a listing of the minor release patchsets for 8I on Windows...

I wish they had the same thing for every platform, I wonder why they only did it for the Windows platform.

What OS?

eg if W2K I have had to stop the Distributed Transaction Coordinator Service before the patch could be applied (otherwise files were locked).

        (This applies to any Oracle patch for me)

Also, if Windows note that there is an 81745 patch.

Have you looked at Metalink
http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_datab ase_id=NOT&p_id=120607.1 to see the major known issues with 817 releases? eg ORA-1002 possible after ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT <Note:202261.1>

Also, you can search Metalink for a list of bugs in 8174 (search for (say) Server-Enterprise Edition with a version of 8.1.7.4) Have a look at the patches available for 8174 on your platform - this will give an indication of the critical bugs that are others have found and got patched.

HTH,
Bruce Reardon
