There is no mechanism provided for de-installing patch sets. If you are concerned about being able to de-install a patch set, Oracle Corporation recommends that you back up

your software installation, before applying the patch set.

If you must de-install a patch set, Oracle recommends one of the following procedures (in order of preference):

            restore your ORACLE_HOME from backup 
            re-install the baseline release and any patch sets previously
applied, up to but not including this patch set 
      Regardless of how you de-install a patch set, please contact Oracle

Support Services to verify that the problem you are encountering is addressed.

However, as was mentioned before, this could very well stem from your not running catalog and catproc and utlrp.

Hi all,

Big troubles occur after I apllied the 8.1.6.3 patch on an Oracle 8.1.6.2 enterprise edition.

Databases are opened, but nothing is working (as PL/sql proc, system views, etc..) any more.
All this databases are now unusable !!

Can I uninstall the 8.1.6.3 patch. I' m afraid not because runInstaller doesn' t allow desintalling patch product. How can I do to un-apply this patch ?

thanks for your help, any advises are welcome

Pascal Dumas
