    - We firstly need to understand the release format.
    - Take the release number 10.1.0.1.0
    - Here 10 is the Major database release number
    - 1 is the Database maintenance release number
    - 0 is the Application release number
    - 1 is the Component specific release number
    - 0 is the Platform specific release number.

    - Major database release number - The first digit is the most general identifier. It represents a major new version of the software that contains significant new functionality.

    - Application server release number - The third digit reflects the release level of the Oracle Application server.

    - Component specific release number - The fourth digit identifies a release level specific to a component. Different components can have different numbers in this position depending upon the component patch sets or interim releases.

    - Platform specific release number - This is the patch set. When different platforms require the equivalent patch set this digit will be the same across the affected platforms.
