Guys,

I saved all of your writing including Todd Boxx, Richard Foote, Wolfgang... about issues with 9.2.0.4. We are currently on 9.2.0.3 and I understand (although have not hit it yet) that in this version we could get locks when building indexes. Also, that basically you need to set your compatible parameter to 8.1.7. On some databases we have compatible set to 9.2.0.0.

Question:

-any bugs/problems going to 9.2.0.4 and...
-should we really change compatible from 9.X to 8.1.7?????

We are currently migrating a large database to 9.X and I want to know if I should use the latest patchset 9.2.0.4 - for security and performance reasons?

Also, we have some dev/test databases where once they go into production performance could be an issue - should we change the compatible param. to 8.1.7 proactively????

Thanks,
Paula
