On Monday I've downloaded Interim patch 3 (5916257) for 10.2.0.3 on Windows released on 13th April. Today I've downloaded CPUApr2007 (5948242) alias Interim patch 4. I've compared content of these patch and majority of files are
identical. Most changes are in patch description files. The only important file that has some changes is
oracle.exe while all other
*.dll files are identical. Also scripts to apply do database
catcpu.sql differs only by 2 lines.
Interim patch 3:
DEFINE CPU_NUMBER = 5916257
DEFINE CPU_DESC = 'Patch3'
CPUApr2007:
DEFINE CPU_NUMBER = 5948242
DEFINE CPU_DESC = 'CPUApr2007'
I wonder why Oracle published 2 patches just in 4 days? On Windows all interim patches contain also previous interim patch. For me the only explanation is that they didn't what to include other bug description into CPU. What do you think?
Cheers, Paweł
