Patching Best Practices – 38min Video

Posted on May 26, 2015 by Mike.Dietrich Patch Recommendation 0

Patch Ever asked yourself about Database Patching Best Practices?

I know that not always everything works that simple and easy. See the blog post by Pieter Van Puymbroeck from Exitas in Belgium about some findings when applying the April 2015 PSU to an Exadata or by myself about my experiences when applying the GI PSU from Jan 2015.

Although upgrade and patching are truly two very different processes, they both fall into the same general category of planned maintenance and are often associated with each other. So, it seems relevant to point out yet another important talk at OpenWorld in San Francisco:

OOW 2014 – Upgrade Hands-On-Lab at NIKKO HOTEL

Posted on September 9, 2014 by Mike.Dietrich OOW 1

This year’s Oracle Open World will be a real challenge logistically for us. Non-privileged employees were assigned to airport hotels only.
