ahhhh a glutton for punishment. Dev, sure why not, just dont let the
developers get to attached to the new features, prod?, i wouldnt update any prod
database(unless forced to by oracle corp) until 9.1 at earliest, yes there are
some kewl things, but heck the latest 8.1.7 patchset has 22 pages of "bug
fixes", i just wouldnt trust the x.0 version with my prod database yet.

>>>We were running 8.1.6.0.0 and just recently encountered the
ORA-7445 errors,which caused core dumps and invalidated the referential
integrity of ourdatabase. Oracle recommended the 8.1.6.3
patchset. We decided to skip thatand go for 8.1.7 but for some reason
Oracle mailed us the 9i CDs. I guessthey are pushing it on everyone
now. Anyway, we are in the process ofupgrading our test databases to
9i (using Sun SPARC Solaris 8). If all iswell we will upgrade
production to 9i.David WagonerOracle

ListersI'm on 8.1.6.0.0 and wondering about upgrading to
8.1.6.3.1(?)as I get the occasional ORA-600/ORA-7445.Do you upgrade
to the latest subversion as a matter of policy(and not test very much) to
prevent possible errorsor only upgrade if you have problems?Do you
upgrade to major versions (7 to 8.0 to 8.1) for increasedfunctionality, cos
Oracle are desupporting (the main reason we upgrade)or to improve the CV
;-) with the possible downside of
instability.Mark.********************************************************************************************************************************Hyde
