RE: Patch a Patch
Gogala , List QUESTION IN CAPITALS BELOW THANKS -Original Message- Sent: Thursday, June 06, 2002 5:23 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L No. First of all, you cannot uninstall patch 8.1.7.3 because oracle hasn't provided uninstall in any of the recent patch sets. You should just install over the existing 8.1.7.4. The ONLY uninstall is the full, cold backup. DO YOU MEAN RE-EXTRACTION OF THE COLD BACKUP TAKEN PRIOR TO APPLICATION OF THE PATCH ? If you decide that the patch set is not for you after, let's say, a week, you are stuck. Your only option is to ask oracle for one off patch for your particular bug. QUESTION - STUCK = SINCE COLD BACKUPS TAKEN BEFORE PATCH APPLICATION WILL NOT EXIST ? That is, generally, why I do not recommend plunging, head first, into the new patchset as soon as it appears. While waiting for two or three months, I monitor RDBMS forums on the metablink and released one off patches. Only when I am reasonably sure that everything is going to be hunky dory will I request my boss to authorize the upgrade.

Patch a Patch
I was just wondering if I'm allowed to apply a new patch after I have already installed patch. Say from 8.1.7.3 to 8.1.7.4. Do I have to uninstall the .3 patch and then install the .4 or what?

Say from 8.1.7.3 to 8.1.7.4. yes Do I have to uninstall the .3 patch and then install the .4 or what? Oracle database patchsets for UNIX are cumulative. Applying the latest patchset will include all of the fixes in previous patchsets for the same baseline version. (i.e. The 8.1.7.4.0 will include the fixes in 8.1.7.3). Unless otherwise noted, you can apply the latest patchset -- with out applying lower patchsets first. === Ray Stell [EMAIL PROTECTED] (540) 231-4109 KE4TJC28^D -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Ray Stell INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services-- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California-- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).

Re: Patch a Patch
patches are supposed to be cumulative, so 8.1.7.4 should include all fixed/patches since the 8.1.7 baseline. joe david hill wrote: I was just wondering if I'm allowed to apply a new patch after I have already installed patch.
