RE: terminal release of 9iRel2

The patch manager on Metalink has "9.2.0.8.0" in it's dropdown, but there's no way to select a patch version without a platform so there's no easy way to tell for what, if any, platforms it's available.

A quick check recently didn't bring anything up for Solaris, Linux, HPUX, or Winders.

Oracle 9.2 is not due for end of ECS support until (about) July 2007 -- 18 months from now. In fact, the actual end date has not even been announced yet.

I think it's safe to assume that there will be at least a few more patchsets released in the next 18 months. I've seen discussion (speculation, really) on the Metalink forums about the release of 9.2.0.8 some time this month, but as always it will be released when it is released...

Is 9.2.0.7 "terminal"? I doubt it. But then, I don't think I'd ever place a bet on this, either.
