That is my proposition. There are no technical details available for hot patching, only pre-11g launch marketing materials. If there is a counterexample, except the dummy patch, for Oracle database, I will stand corrected. “There are no hot patches (yet)”.
That is my proposition.

There are no technical details available for hot patching, only pre-11g launch marketing materials.

If there is a counterexample, except the dummy patch, for Oracle database, I will stand corrected.

In my case, I'm patching Oracle v11.1.0.6.0 with patch 6 (#7210195) on a Windows 2003 Server. Here's what I did: 1. Shutdown the Instance and all it's services (backup first). You have to go to manage>services> and manually turn off all Oracle related services and the Distributed Transaction Coordinator (which is not of Oracle) 2. Replace the contants in OPatch dir with the updated one from Oracle #6880880 3. Set ORACLE_HOME path to your Oracle Home Directory to something like x:\app\...\product\11.1.0\db_1 4. Download and unzip patch 7210195 to x drive same drive as your oracle home 5. go to the 7210195 folder and run OPatch apply 6. reboot when patch complete I may have skipped some minor step here and there but that's the basic .... now back to playing my xbox :) I figured out the the problem.

Am I right to assume that the opatch file is not compatible with windows? Please advise. Thanks.
