Maybe, (Hope, Pray) this is all a big hoax. Oracle could announce this feature and use it as a marketing tool toward management, but never really implement it, all the while knowing that there will never be real dba that will even try to turn it on while a wet behind the ears, fresh out of a 5 week crash course in playing dba junior type will never quite figure out what they are doing wrong.

Actually I think what they showed is really going to be part of OEM4. My understanding is that the 1st release will be out in the coming weeks with a .1 release ( with functionality like a pocketpc version) to be out in q3/4 timeframe. Oracle 10( or whatever its called ) will be unveiled at Oracle(Open)World in September.

doing it right rather than monkeying around with bells and whistles... weird concept.  

The kid that demo-ed it would have been more impressive if he had once showed the audience the cool toy, rather than the VP the cool toy.

Sure, the Oracle 'boy' did demo this auto patching stuff and it all looked pretty impressive..... One more check-mark in the list of things the DBAs do today, that can be taken away from them :)  

But my little brain kept wondering......   ..... as to why would Oracle come up with this wonderful feature? Why can't they use such brilliant Developers to concentrate on thoroughly testing their code so it does not need a lot of patchwork. Patching should be an exception, not a routine procedure that needs automation !!  

BTW.. The new release may not be called 10i, after all.

Did find out that it will automatically download and install all patches and OEM will allow it to be scheduled so that you don't actually have to do anything. I think the boy who demoed that said it was a wonderful new feature.

So, did you get to see Oracle 10 in action at the IOUG?

I wasn't there, but am curious.
