Sigh, There are many answers to this question related to the environment you will be deploying into. It sounds like you are actually maintaining many databases. Are all of them really 24x7 (i.e. less than a minute of downtime per year) or can you schedule maintenance in the future that will not af

Cherie, Before any upgrade I consider whether or no I really need it. For mission critical application it would be wise to stick with what you have, unless you have problems with it. Now we have 9.0.1.2 in production and 9.1.3 in development and I don't intend to move to 9.2 in nearest tim

We have a couple of new applications in development that are moving to QA. These databases are currently running 9.0.1.2 on Sun Solaris 2.6. We've been pretty happy with this version to this point but are at a pivotal spot in our product development cycle where we have a narrow window in which
