Applying online patch on 11gr2

在Oracle 11g中提出了online patch(也叫hot patch)的特性；Hot patching允许我们在实例始终在线的情况下安装，启用或禁用一个修复补丁或者诊断补丁。针对7*24在线的业务系统，hot patch为我们提供了一条既能避免当机时间而又可以实施补丁的途径。在Oracle 11g中我们可以使用Opatch命令行工具针对任意数据库实施在线补丁(前提是该补丁是一个hot patch)。一般来说在线补丁(hot patches)只能是那些代码修改范围小且复杂度很低的补丁，举例来说它们往往是一些诊断补丁(diagnostic patches)或者小bug的修复(small bug fixes)。值得注意的是hot patching将需要消耗额外的内存，决定其消耗内存数量的因素是:1.补丁本身的大小,2.实例中的进程总数；举例来说某个补丁的大小正好为一个OS page的大小(一般为4kB)，那么当实例中运行的进程总数为1000时，则该hot patching所额外消耗的内存总数为4kB*1000=4MB。

hot patches与常规Conventional patches对比具有可在线实施和安装快的特性，如下图:
online patching

在实际生产环境中，相信没有多少朋友实施过hot patching，一来国内目前还没有普及11g的使用，二来hot patching的数量在所有interim patch中只占极少数；一直以来都想写这样一篇关于hot patching的博文，唯一妨碍我写作的问题是在11.2.0.1下找不到可实施的online interim patch；以MOS->patches&upgrade目前的分类我们很难找出某个base release下可用的hot patch，当然这并不妨碍补丁专栏的使用。为了这个令人郁闷的问题，我特意去提交了一个Service Request，得到的回复:

I have tried to find the patches which support online patching on 11.2.0.1 version,
but I also can not find them because there are too many patches and there is no catalog for the patches
which support online patching, and I can only check the patch readme to confirm whether that patch supports online patching.

I found one patch which supports online patching, but this patch is for 11.2.0.2 version.
The patch no. is 10188727.

Sorry for the inconvenience brought to you. Hope the above update can help you.
If the above patch is not what you want, then please update the SR and I will continue for your issue.

这其中提到的patch 10188727，可以从Note<RDBMS Online Patching Aka Hot Patching [ID 761111.1]>中找到，另外一个可找到的hot patch是11.1.0.6上的6198642<DUMMY PATCH FOR TESTING DB11 PATCHING>，不过很可惜该补丁只有Linux x86一个平台版本的。所以我不得不先将11.2.0.1的测试库升级到了11.2.0.2上:
