That is a tough call, in my experience 8.1.7.3 is more stable and has fewer
minor patches than 8.1.7.2, I would certainly go for .3. However, the best
course of action is to call your vendor see if and when they will support
8.1.7.3. On the other hand if this database will only run the vendor's
application, then sticking with the supported version may not be so bad.
Ultimately it is your call!

Hi,
I am managing a software that uses a set of 8 oracle databases. I am
preparing to upgrade all my databases from 8.1.6.3.0 to 8.1.7.0.0 then
apply a patch to the oracle software installation after the upgrade. The
software that uses these databases are only certified on patch 2 level at
the time of release. Since now the patchset 3 for 817 is available, I
would like to get advice in whether to apply patch 3 instead of patch 2.
Same amount of work, more benefits. The only thing is that the application
vendor does not officially support the patch3.
platform: Sun Solaris 2.8
Oracle EE server 8.1.6.3.0
Any input is appreciated.
