Okay, after reading all of the Security Alert #68 notes I could find on MetaLink, I believe that the most stable release of Oracle 9iR2 is version 9203. I say this because it is supposedly not affected by Security Alert #68 (the alert says that the only 9iR2 versions affected are 9204 and 9205) and it has the fewest number of serious bugs (see Note:189908.1 to compare bugs by version). (BTW, check out this serious index corruption bug in 9205 related to LMTs and ASSM- Bug# 3785200. Recommendation is to NOT use ASSM!) So, I plan to upgrade affected versions to 9203 to avoid the security patches and other serious bugs. I'm referring to Sun Solaris 8.

Will someone please provide a sanity-check and let me know if I'm reading this stuff correctly?
