Lee,

Be aware of bug 2220597.  I believe metalink identifies other 64bit OS's,
but I've experience it on Tru64 5.1 (1885).  Not sure if there is a bug fix
available yet.

Anyone aware of 8.1.7.3 for Oracle on Tru64 ?? I haven't seen this available
on OTN/Metalink and as we are upgrading our DBs at the moment I might as
well go to that if its out there.

RE: oracle 8.1.7 patch 2 or 3?

2002-02-28 Thread Freeman, Robert

Be careful with the 8.1.7.3 patchset if you use the dbms_describe or
odbsidescribe functions as the output format has changed in them
between 8.1.7.2 and 8.1.7.3 and 9.0.1.1 and 9.0.1.2...

If you are not using this functionality, then there is not problem. If
you are using it, make sure you exercise any code using it for any
potential problems.

this can lead to problems getting support for the third party 
applications.  i have had support withdrawn when i was at anon supported 
patch level.  before doing this i'd check with the support of the 
application.

Re: oracle 8.1.7 patch 2 or 3?

2002-02-28 Thread Amr Hambazaza


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.

Re: oracle 8.1.7 patch 2 or 3?

2002-02-28 Thread Connor McDonald

Its surprising that a vendor goes down to the 4th
digit in terms of support/nosupport.

If its any help, we've been running 8.1.7.3 (solaris)
since the patch came out and have not encountered any
problems
