Re: ORACLE 8.1.6 patch set come out

It's been my experience that except for patches for specific bugs, there usually isn't a "deinstall" option for patchsets. Instead you need to reinstall the base release from the media and then apply any intermediate patches/patchsets to get back to the level you want.
