RE: Oracle 8.1.6 on Solaris

Stable releases all really depend on what you are using in that release. I am still running 7.3.3 with no issues for one app but there is a good chance that if I moved a different app to that release I would have all kinds of problems. I keep hearing that 8.1.5 is buggy but I have yet to come across a bug. So no matter what version you go to it all depends on how you tax it. I no longer listen to people saying its a buggy release. I let my applications tell me what is buggy. That is what testing is for.

All,

I would like to know which patch version of 8.1.6 I should install. One of the DBA's around here says just install from the CD which is 8i release 2 (8.1.6) and another DBA says that I should patch to 8.1.6.1.1 because it seems to be a stable version etc. There are no other restrictions other than that I would like to install the most recent version/patch level that is stable and reliable etc so if 8.1.6.1.1 is infact stable, then I guess it would be my preference.

What do others think???

Thanks,

	Ken
