Re: multiple patchsets

Do not install a patchset straight away after it is realest. Wait 1/2 of year. If you have been pushed to install new patch, install it in a test environment. If you got any problems log a SR with high priority.

I would say it is normal DBA live nowadays.

PS I don't believe it is just Oracle. Probably it is because many big SW companies doing developing outscoring and are in the rush to make a profit.
