Master Oracle Patching with these best practices! 🛠️
If you want to keep your Oracle databases secure and efficient, you'll have to follow some essential patching best practices. As luck would have it, we've collected some of those best practices in our Oracle management whitepaper!
Here are just some of the tips to kick things off:
✔ Out-of-place patching: set up a new Oracle Home software tree and apply patches there to minimise downtime and reduce risk.
✔ Start with standby: use Oracle Data Guard to patch the standby database first, ensuring no impact on the primary database.
✔ Test preproduction: always patch in a preproduction environment first to gauge downtime and verify application performance impact.
