Imagine you have a tiny security patch which only update the binary $ORACLE_HOME/bin/adapters. In 10gR2 you had to shut down the database to install the patch with OPatch, even the patch does not affect the database at all. In 11g, if the patch does not affect the database (for example by modifying $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle), then you do not have to shut down the database. However I fair you will still have to shutdown for patchset like 11.1.0.7 or CPU Jan 2008. Let's wait and see, I hope I am wrong :twisted: hot patching ? well, it is there.

I was well sold, as it seemed to offer a downtime free way of doing releases of our in house applications. To be fair a more skeptical colleague was concerned at how reliable this feature might be with the first release, and it would appear that this is borne out with it's non-appearance in 11.1. Sure it'll come, but oracle obviously had some "issues" with it for the first release. Hey Laurent,
