RE: patch set testing

Yes,

1. Do a clean install of a new oracle home to be the site for testing your upgrade. Upgrade it to whatever patch level you currently run. Have it owner by another OS account
2. Make a copy of your database. It is easiest to do this as a cold copy or use rman to do it hot.
3. Start it in the new Oracle home using a copied initora.
4. Do your patch
5. test test test
