My understanding is that the prebuilt "template" databases are never patched, so if you use any of them, even after patching the software, you need to go and run all the database patch scripts.

If you use the "new" database template, which builds everything from scripts, you should end up with a fully patched database.

Someone please correct me if I am in error on this...
