Patching Oracle databases means more than just applying the quarterly bundled Release Updates (RU) or Monthly Recommended Patches (MRP). Many DBAs aren't aware that RU and MRP aren't comprehensive. Databases remain exposed to critical vulnerabilities and regressions without supplemental patching. In this session, you'll learn to identify the types of patches that are never included in Oracle's patch bundles, how to search My Oracle Support for additional, critical fixes, and cover Oracle's recommended best practices for patching database and Grid Infrastructure software installations. We'll also describe the patching process, how to revert a patched database and discuss steps for preparing and protecting systems for patching. Oracle database administrators attending this session will gain important insights into the patching process, including:
* What's missing from Oracle's quarterly patch updates (and why it's not there)
* Where to find patches for "everything else" they need to keep the database secure and running at peak performance
* The differences between in-place and out-of-place patching, and which is best
* Changes to patches and patching introduced in Oracle Database 23c
