Step-by-Step Guide to Apply Oracle E-Business Suite Database 19c Patch Set Update
In this article, we will apply the latest Oracle Database Release Update (DBRU) 19.25 (19.25.0.0.241015-Oct2024) today, as it has been certified by Oracle.
What are Patch Set Updates (PSU)?
Oracle Database Patch Set Updates (PSUs) are quarterly cumulative updates designed to address critical security vulnerabilities, performance issues, and stability improvements in Oracle databases. These updates include fixes for both newly discovered and previously identified issues, ensuring your database environment remains secure and reliable. Unlike major upgrades, PSUs focus on enhancing existing functionality without introducing new features, making them simpler to apply with minimal disruption. They also help maintain compliance with Oracle’s recommended practices and security standards, ensuring optimal performance and protection for enterprise data.
