One of the issues that faces DBAs or others when considering applying patches to software is what effect the change will have on their existing applications. For example windows patches have been known to adversely affect the availability of Oracle databases.

In Oracle's case there is an often overlooked opportunity to discover known issues like this before you run into them rather than afterwards. This is because Oracle keeps a regularly update list of issues known to affect their database patchsets.

For Oracle 9.2 you should start at Note 189908.1

For Oracle 10g you should start at Note 279831.1

A valid support contract is required for these notes.
