Attention: To align with new corporate security policies, and to match policies adopted by other communities within Oracle, the My Oracle Support Community access requirements will change beginning September 18, 2025. MOSC will now require that member accounts in our community be associated to a *corporate* email address. This means that users with generic domains (such as gmail.com, yahoo.com, and others) will no longer be granted access to the discussion forums and ideas labs. If this policy affects you, act now to change the email address that is associated with your Oracle (and community) account. Alternatively, you can opt to create a new Oracle account that uses your corporate email domain.

Oracle Recommended Patches

Jun 15, 2019 8:02PM edited Oct 3, 2019 10:00AM in SQL Performance (MOSC) 1 comment

This thread is for discussion and questions about Oracle recommended patches for both proactive and reactive maintenance.

General Advice:

Reactive Patches:
- are usually delivered as “Interim Patches”
- were historically known as “one-off” patches
- are provided on demand for a given “defect, version, platform” combination
- go through basic sanity tests
- fixes will usually be included in the next relevant Patch Set Release
Proactive Patches
- address high impact bugs that affect a given configuration
- contain proven low risk fixes
- all patches are cumulative of prior fixes
- go through extra levels of testing, determined by the feature(s) affected
- are available on "My Oracle Support" by clicking on the "Patches & Updates" tab
