I can’t help but think there are a lot of bugs burbling about just under the surface, that get exposed when people ask about them (or maybe even search for them? Could someone at Oracle be using analytics to watch what gets searched and act on it?). I can’t help wanting to berate Oracle QA when they put out something so brazenly broken, in this case whether it breaks a bind variable or corrupts an update, somebody ought to catch it earlier than production users. Whatever happened to beta testers? Why isn’t this regression tested? There are just too many interlocking parts to systems these days to be so sloppy.

That search found Doc ID 1244424.1
Just need to find Oracle 11.2.0.1 patch 7, patch number 10155837 (Edit Nov 3, 2010: patch number 10155837 is for 32 bit Oracle binaries on Windows, while patch number 10155838 appears to be for 64 bit Oracle binaries on Windows)… and on to the next bug. :-)

(Edit: Nov 3, 2010: I don’t know if someone at Oracle support saw this blog post yesterday, but Metalink Doc ID 1262530.1 was added on Nov 2, 2010 with a brief test case – I am fairly sure that this Doc ID was not visible when I posted this blog article. That Doc ID also recommends installing the 11.2.0.1 patch 7.)

I wonder if these are slightly different bugs? One small difference is that the Metalink bug that you found describes a problem that resulted in ORA-01460, while the above problem shows a problem that resulted in ORA-01461.

Looks like a rounding error? Is there some kind of precision setting somewhere?
