RE: 10gR2 Upgrade .. Watch out

I can't seem to find Juan's post can you give an example of a query and results. I recently upgraded to 10gr2 and we use union all in several places.  

Thanks,
Ken

Subject: 10gR2 Upgrade .. Watch out  

 In an earlier posting , Juan Carlos had mentioned about having problem with
"union all"; We encountered the following after upgrading to 10gR2. Thought
i will share this with the list.
1. Group by was not doing the sort in the default order where as 9.2.0.6 / 9i Rel2 was doing so
2. Same problem with SELECT DISTINCT / SELECT UNIQUE 3. And Recently
SELECT name, SUM(basic) total FROM TEST WHERE basic=20 GROUP BY name ORDER BY 2 DESC did not work;
If you use SELECT name, SUM(basic) total FROM TEST WHERE basic BETWEEN 20 AND 20 GROUP BY name ORDER BY 2 DESC then it works!!! Patch number is 5415881.
Please double confirm with your db release by writing simple SQL queries prior to proceeding. Some of our reports / queries were producing
"different" results after move to 10gRel2. Also check your UNION/UNIONALL
queries.
