database vs. GI patch in a PSU
Oracle 11.2.0.2 SE-One 64bit
Oracle ASM 11.2.0.2
Oracle Linux 5.6 x86-64
This is more a curiosity than a burning issue. I've been installing PSU 11 (patch 16742329). Have it installed on my dev server, planning on going to prod this weekend.
The PSU comes with two patches -- 16459322 and 16619893. One for the database and one for the GI.
What I find interesting is that following the patchset instructions for patching both the DB and GI homes at the same time, 'opatch auto' applies both patches to both homes.
So an lsinventory of the ASM home shows:
Patch 16619893 : applied on Mon Sep 16 11:47:47 CDT 2013
Unique Patch ID: 16436553
