If I install the initial release of Oracle 8.1.7 without creating a database, and then immediately apply PatchSet 8.1.7.4 (by just running the installer), do I need to run any sql to assure I'm COMPLETELY running that patchset?

Reason I ask is that I did just that, installed the Oracle 8.1.7.0 product (without creating a DB), ran the installer for the 8.1.7.4 PatchSet, and THEN created my database using the Database Configuration Utility. However, when I query on the version, I noticed that the "CORE" component is reporting 8.1.7.2.1. Am I fine with the following, or do I need to do another step?

SQL> select * from v$version;
