    Question Oracle patches and upgrade assistant

    Probably a dumb question but good to be sure of.

    If I

    -Install oracle 9i on an box that already has 8.1.7 on it
    -then I patch the 9i server to the latest version
    -then use the upgade assistant to upgrade the 8.1.7 instance

    Do I still need to run catpatch.sql on the newly upgraded instance or does the upgrade assistant take account of this in the upgrade process?

    Depends what the upgrade assistant asks you to do.
    If he says installing.. then it's an OUI.

    If for instance you're patching a 81741 to 8174.10 then you'll have to follow steps carefully as described in the txt file/readme.html.

    The order of patching up mutliple servers really doesn't matter...
