sounds good to me.
want to test out a patchset?
copy your home to another directory, increment the
counter and apply the patchset. point it at a
sacrificial cloned db and have at it.
I ignored that the first time around and went with the
good old /opt/oracle/product/10.1.0.
Now I wish I would have followed their new standard.
thanks for the link and the info.
