Oracle关于Patchset 10.2.0.4的提醒邮件

昨天收到了Oracle发来的一封关于Patchset 10.2.0.4的提示邮件，邮件内容如下：

Dear Oracle Customer,

You are receiving this email because our records indicated you downloaded Oracle Database Patchset 10.2.0.4 (Patch 6810189) on the Linux x86 platform:

There was a minor error in the zip file name mentioned in the README.
Section "7.4 Download and Extract the Installation Software" in the README incorrectly mentioned p6810189_10204_LINUX.zip as the file to be downloaded and unzipped. This has now been modified to reflect the correct file name, p6810189_10204_Linux-x86.zip. Apart from this minor change to the README, there is no other change to the patch set content.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience you may have experienced, and we thank you for your patience and cooperation in securing your Oracle server products.

Regards,
Oracle Global Product Support

我的第一感觉是，Oracle对于客户的跟踪目前做的是相当及时，我访问了这个Patch，Oracle就已经跟踪在案。

邮件的内容是说，补丁中的README文档中存在一个小的瑕疵，原本Patch的名称为p6810189_10204_Linux-x86.zip，文档中误写为p6810189_10204_LINUX.zip，现在作了修正。

比较了一下下载Patch中的README.html文件和patch_note.htm文件，发现只是README.html文件中存在错误，而patch_not.htm文件中的描述是正确的:

G:\Oracle\Linux>diff README.html patch_note.htm

这是一个小问题，我们可以顺便了解一下Oracle补丁集的命名规则，那就是：
p<patch number>_<release number>_<os>.zip

根据这个规则，我们可以很容易获得Metalink ftp站点上的文件名称：

oracle 9208patch:
