Great news for Oracle patchset.
Beginning patchset 11.2.0.2, the patchset will complete installations of the software, therefore, for new installations, will no longer need to install the basic software (11.2.0.1) patchset to download and apply .
The patchset, huge (4.7 GB), is in fact composed of 7 zip file: the first two for the database (including RAC), then Grid, Client, Gateways, Examples and uninstaller, ending each in their respective directories.
For existing installations, the big news is the ' out-of-place upgrade , recommended over the traditional in-place upgrade: the new version of the software is installed in a new ORACLE_HOME while maintaining the old one, and finally installing the database is migrated to the new version. This has two main advantages:
- The downtime is less: it is no longer necessary to stop the database and processes to install the new software.
- The old software is in place, is thus facilitated the return to the old version (before you had to do a manual backup).
The installer can now download patch for themselves and directly in the database during installation, removing all the upgrade issues at this time.
What's new management are in the "New features guides ", now updated to patchset.
