Hey we are not using XE here. EE for me please.
However I believe oracle has indicated that XE would be kept patched and updated ... not just thrown out as a one time release.
Shouldn't it be possible to keep the patches for it synchronized with the quarterly CPU's? Received on Wed Dec 13 2006 - 07:25:10 CST
