Hello everybody.

I'm really going nuts.

After downloading 65 MB for Oracle Patch 8.1.6.3 and realizing, that in this patch a fix from 8.1.6.1.5 for fixing the "Autostart-Error" (Bug-ID 1266248) was not included which resulted in a total time of about 9+ minutes for the database to start (after reboot or starting the oracleserviceorcl manually), I also downloaded the new patch 8.1.6.3.1 (available since Feb. 1) - another 11 MB.

The readme for this patch contains this:

--The follwing fixes were included in 8.1.6.1.5 PSE but not in 8.1.6.3.0 Patchset.

They are include in this PSE to make 8.1.6.3 cumulative from 8.1.6.1.5 PSE.

1612473 0033248 RDBMS ORACLESERVICE<SID> FAILS TO AUTOMATICALLY START THE DATABASE I did exactly what was explained in the Readme file (not included in the downloaded ZIP file; there's no Setup.exe; you have to copy all the files by hand).

After copying all the files I restarted the OracleService<SID> Service
....

it took 9 minutes until it was up...

Now I rebootet the PC ...

Exactly the same ...

No change to behaviour before.

What could I have done wrong ?
Or is Oracle really that stupid, that they forget to include a fix in a patch which explicitly states that includes that patch ?

Are there some developers from Oracle in this group ? Any comment ?
