Database Upgrade question

Hi all,

I have to do the fresh 11i Apps installation on a new box. Then, I am going to do Application + Database Cloning from already running instance. Fresh install will not have any database but it installs 8.1.7.3.0 ver. of Oracle. Already running instance has been upgraded to 8.1.7.4.11.

My question is that on fresh install, can I do 8.1.7.4.11 upgrade without having any database there?

Thanks in Adv.

yes as you are patching the Oracle software, not the database.

When you create the database fixes would be automatically applied
