All credits go to Ricardo Maeda as I knew that we’ll release a Bundle Patch for Oracle 12.2.0.1 sometime this week – but I couldn’t find it linked from the usual MOS notes. And please don’t ask my why that is.

Plus in addition get the OPatch version 12.2.0.1.7 via patch 6880880.

Should we take the PSUs or the BPs? RURs or RUs?

RUs are Release Upgrades which replace …

MOS Note: 1683799.1 – 12.1.0.2 Patch Set – Availability and Known Issues is not entirely clear. Therefore lets shed some light …

The Matrix

This matrix in MOS Note: 1683799.1 tells you about the availability of PSUs and BPs for a regular database installation (non-RAC, non-Exadata). But it doesn’t clearly tell you what’s included – and the names being used aren’t very revealing either.
