individual oracle bug patch installation issue?
hi,
I hv downloaded a Bug patch for my 9i db...but i hv a query after reading it's installation instruction as follow:
# Requirements:
#
# - You must have located this patch via a Bug Database entry
# and have the exact symptoms described in the bug entry.
#
# - Your system configuration (Oracle Server version and patch
# level, OS Version) must exactly match those in the bug
# database entry - You must have NO OTHER PATCHES installed on
# your Oracle Server since the latest patch set (or base release
# x.y.z if you have no patch sets installed).
...hmm..i find it funny when it says we MUST not have other patches installed on our latest patchset...so was wondering what happen if I have several Bug Patches to install??? that mean I can oni install 1 Bug patch that it ??
Anyone can enlighten??
thanks in advance

I take it the patch is to be installed by the piece of crap opatch. Basically it allows you to keep the inventory up to date so when you upgrade the OUI knows what to do. Why they don't use the OUI in the interim is anybody's guess.
What was the patch you downloaded?
