Beginning with release 10.2.0.3, Oracle releases Recommended Patches for Oracle Database. For an introduction to Recommended Patches, see Note:756388.1.
Recommended Patches are provided for the following target configurations:
Recommended Patches are released on all platforms at the same time. They are generally available on the following platforms: HP-UX PA-RISC, Solaris Operating System (SPARC 64-Bit), HP-UX Itanium, IBM AIX on POWER Systems (64-Bit), Linux x86 (32-bit), and Linux x86-64.
Oracle provides bundled patches for Microsoft Windows platforms. Recommended patches are included in these bundles rather than as separately downloadable patches. See Note:161549.1 for details of the bundled patches for Microsoft platforms. It is recommended to apply the most current Windows bundle patch .
Patches on other platforms are created on request.
