Re: Oracle 8i patch installation

If you install an additional option/product back from the 8.1.7 CDs later, you
should reapply the 8.1.7.3 Patch. However, you would not need to rerun the sql scripts (catalog.sql, catproc.sql) unless the new option requires it --
e.g. if you install Advanced Replication later, you would need to run catrep.sql

Hi,

At my site I normally install Oracle Server EE using custom installation, i.e. I install only the products that I need.

Now an Oracle 8i patchset (e.g. 8.1.7.3 patchset) contains patches for many products (RDBMS, PL/SQL, Networking, Intermedia etc). If I install say 8.1.7.3 on top of my current 8.1.7.0 it will install not only patches for products that I
have in my current 8.1.7.0 installation, but also extra patches as well. This is fine for now I can foresee a problem in future when I install additional products from the 8.1.7.0 CD. Should I reapply the 8.1.7.3 patchset then to ensure
that all products are properly patches? Do you see any problem with installing the same patchset more than once for an Oracle server?

Thanks
Long
