Thanks for the suggestion. &nbsp;This patch should do it. &nbsp;It comes with its own Universal Installer making it easier to deploy than the earlier interim patches. &nbsp;Also it can be applied to all 10g Release 2 Databases (10.2.0.x) as well as most 32-bit operating systems - MS Windows Server 2003, Server 2003 R2, Windows XP Professional, Windows Vista SP1, and even Windows 2000 SP2 or later.<br />
<br />
Thanks again,<br />

Can you please provide the detailed steps that one needs to take in order to upgrade an Oracle 10g Database (10.2.0.3 to 10.2.0.4) on Microsoft Windows Vista? &nbsp;If you have the patch numbers that one needs to download from Oracle's Metalink and the order that they need to be applied. &nbsp;Several users have pointed out that you cannot apply patches to a 10.2.0.3 database until it is upgraded to 10.2.0.4 and that interim patches require the Opatch utility. &nbsp;Any details would be appreciated!<br />

How to upgrade from an Oracle 10g 10.2.0.3 to 10.2.0.4 Database on MS Vista

Oracle is an object-relational database management system. It supports a large number of languages and application development frameworks. Its primary languages are SQL, PL/SQL and Java, but it also includes support for C and C++. Oracle also has its own enterprise modules and application server software.

Oracle Database

Windows Vista is an operating system created by Microsoft as the successor to Windows XP. It was intended for PCs, workstations and laptops, and shares the same code base as its successor, Windows 7. New features included an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Aero, a new search component called Windows Search, redesigned networking, audio, print and display subsystems, and new multimedia tools. Vista aimed to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and media between computers and devices. Windows Vista included version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, allowing software developers to write applications without traditional Windows APIs.
