RE: Wrong Patch (Urgent)

Did you check the patch readme for uninstall instructions? If there is no uninstall option, can't you just restore your $ORACLE_HOME from backup (surely you have a backup)? I believe you can check the version of the software with "file $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle" - if the output mentions 64, then it's 64 bit, otherwise it's 32-bit. Not sure if that works on Solaris or not, but give it a try - there are also a few notes on Metalink about how to check so if you just search for 64-bit there you will probably find the answer. Not sure about installing 9.2.0.5 32-bit on top of 9.2.0.5 64-bit, but doesn't sound like something I'd want to try - better to just restore/uninstall first and then install the right patch set, or at least check with Oracle Support first. Why are you installing 9.2.0.5 anyway - why not 9.2.0.8?

Brandon
