，Oracle Database的最新Critical Patch Updates将会在17 April 2012发布，即下个月的中旬， 包括针对版本11.2.0.3的 CPU、PSU补丁将 Release，因为版本10gR2已经实际进入Sustaining Support(
Oracle Database 10.2 has now transitioned from Premier Support to Sustaining Support. Our records indicate the CSI used for this SR does not have Extended Support so you are only eligible to Sustaining Support. Sustaining Support includes assistance with service requests, on a commercially reasonable basis, 24 hours per day, 7 days a week. It does not include new program updates, fixes, security alerts and critical update. The support policy details can be accessed at “http://www.oracle.com/us/support/library/057419.pdf “. If you need Extended Support please contact your account team.)， 所以我们有理由相信这次的CPU更新将不会再针对10gR2的Last Patchset 10.2.0.5 ，让11gR2来得更激烈一些吧！

比较令人惊讶的是虽然 版本10gR2已经实际进入Sustaining Support周期， 但是这一次仍释出了 10.2.0.5上最新的 PSU 10.2.0.5.7 ，和10.2.0.4上的 10.2.0.4.12 PSU。 虽然10.2.0.5.7当前的状态要求 有 Extended Support CSI 才能下载， 但是实际在几个月前 10.2.0.5.5 release时也如现在一般，但是10.2.0.5.6 又变成了只要有一般的premier support账号即可下载， 谁能摸得清Oracle Patch Support team的脾气呢？ PSU 10.2.0.5.7 修复的bug fix 包括： PSU 10.2.0.5.7 contains all fixes previously released in PSU 10.2.0.5.6 and the following new fixes: Buffer Cache Management 8822531 - TAKING AWR SNAP HANGS 12748240 - FIX FOR BUG 12748240 12780098 - FIX FOR BUG 12780098 13503598 - FIX FOR BUG 13503598 Generic 7115910 - ORA-7445 [KQLCHG] INTERMITTENTLY HIT DURING DBMS_REFRESH.REFRESH OF MV 9689310 - SPORADIC BUNCHES OF ORA-600 [17059] 9694101 - SHARED CURSOR TEST HANGS DUE TO 'CURSOR: PIN S WAIT ON X' 11858315 - ORA-600 [17147] ORA-600 [KGHALO4] WITH PATCH 10277915 APPLIED High Availability 9448311 - BOTH INSTANCE DOWN WITH ORA-00481. 11674645 - GCS DRM FREEZE IN ENTER SERVER MODE WAIT EVENT 13554409 - FIX FOR BUG 13554409 Oracle Space Management 6076890 - ORA-600[16622] WHEN SYNONYM IS SPECIFIED IN DBMS_SPACE.UNSUSED_SPACE 11790175 - SMON SPINS ON REDO APPLICATION ON BASICFILE LOBS Oracle Virtual Operating System Services 10326338 - HIGH RESMGR:CPU QUANTUM WITH APPSQOS_PLAN IN PLACE Server Manageability 13257247 - POPULATING WRH$_TEMPSTATXS MAY BE SLOW DUE TO INEFFICIENT QUERY EXECUTION PLAN
