This is fun to read as I wait for oui to finish applying the 9205
patchset.
Oh well...it is our development machine, it is an HP 11 box, and I have
cma (covered my a$$).

My experience, having worked for software vendors, is that you are
correct. Patchsets generally get a "modest " amount of regression
testing, at
best. Just to cheer you up, individual patches may receive practically
no
regression testing.

It was a bug we faced with 9.2.0.5 and it required "based on the bug
number "
getting the one-off patch. Of course, that was also fun as the one-off
patch instructs you to use the PERL installed with Oracle (which didn 't
work
we ended up using /usr/bin/perl with success) - installing the opatch
software, etc. BTW, I did look to see first if the patchset 9.2.0.6 was
out......so.....
I wondered if Oracle even does regression testing anymore because this
problem was not present with 9.2.0.4.
BEWARE - EITHER GO TO 9.2.0.4 OR WAIT TILL 9.2.0.6 would be my advice
ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE RUNNING 64-BIT ORACLE ON SOLARIS 2.9
