Re: v8.1.7.0.0 - Just go ahead and shoot me - What now

Don't sit on anything that has a zero at the end. Read the 8.1.7.2 readme, and you will see what I mean.

We are currently Solaris 2.6 105181-26 & Oracle v8.1.7.0.0.

We recently upgraded from v8.1.6.0.0 to v8.1.7.0.0 on the advise of Oracle support in order to fix several bugs we were encountering. To make a long story short, we hit 3 new very troublesome bugs within the first week and are now just limping along.

Oracle support is now recommending we upgrade to v8.1.7.1.0 to fix all three bugs. Yeah, Right.

Now that v8.1.7.2.0 is available and the bug fix report is as long or longer that the v8.1.7.1.0 list (see metalink Doc# 120613.1) we have to ask ourselves, "Do ya feel luck"?

So the question is which patch set fixes more while at the same time breaks less? Or should we just limp along until v8.1.7.3 in January 2002?

TIA Brian
