Depends on how you create your db. If you use the gui tool to create a
db, it copies template files that are actually back at the base release,
not at the 10.2.0.3 level. If you create a db thru sqlplus, then you're
OK.

Subject: Post CPUOct2007 question

Folks,

I have a question regarding databases that get created AFTER the
Critical Patch Update for October 2007 has been installed.
Obviously, existing DB's are shutdown, then the patch gets applied, then
the instance get started and the $ORACLE_HOME/cpu/CPUOct2007/catcpu.sql
script gets executed.

Makes sense for existing databases.

However, I just installed Oracle 10.2.0.3.0 and the CPU on a new server
and did NOT create any instances yet.

Do I still have to run the 'catcpu.sql' on a NEW instance that gets
created ?
I'm a bit puzzled and can't find any good answers on Metalink either.
My guess is it wouldn't hurt to run the script but am I wasting my time
doing so ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris.
