Oracle 8.1.7 is currently only available for download from = technet.oracle.com, to those unfortunate enough to have Sun instead of HP hardware.

I've upgraded two databases to 8.1.7 so far, and despite its installing = and starting up Apache, am impressed with it. There seem to be a lot of bugs fixed in 8.1.7 than are not listed in the = release notes and read me. At least the bugs I reported against 8.1.6 all appear fixed so far. Even the = v$session_longops view has fewer apparantly corrupt sys entries.

So far the only problem I've encountered with 8.1.7 is that the = intelligent agent discovers Apache as a service and lists it as such in services.ora. OEM 1.6 does not mind and is happy to discover = 8.1.7 with the Apache service. OEM 2.1, however, can't handle the Apache service and errors when attempting to discover = 8.1.7.

I'd love to hear of anybody else's experiences with 8.1.7, as I'm = planning to upgrade yet another reporting database to it next weekend. =20
