Re: note 237007.1 and 9.2.0.4

Ray,

If I can get a large enough maintenance window, particularly where there is a dead 8.1.7 home, I've been de-installing all oracle software, formatting that volume and performing a clean install of 9.2, 9.2.0.5.0 and 9.2.0.5.3.

You know for certain what you are up against. New construction is nice and clean.
Remodelling - you never know what kind of surprise you're going to run into.

hth.

Paul
