Install Oracle Database Home and apply patch at the same time

Good information. I have one question, since you are installing software only post creation of database do we nee to run datapatch script later as

Hi Sulaiman, You are right. In this video we are installing the Oracle Home and prepares for an out-of-place patch of the database. When you move the database into the new Oracle Home, you must execute datapatch to finish the patching. In fact, it is better to run datapatch one time too many, than one too few. Running datapatch multiple times will not harm you. Datapatch automatically detects if patches are missing and installs only if needed. You could also use AutoUpgrade for patching the database. Then you don't need to worry about whether datapatch needs to run or not. AutoUpgrade automates it completely for you. Regards, Daniel

Hello, What will happen with the installer if patch failed due to any reason? Installer will contunue or will be failed?

Hi Taoqir, That's a very good question. I have never tried that scenario with this feature, so I can't answer. Daniel
