Well, I’m pretty fortunate that I don’t have to work outside of ‘normal’ hours too often. Today I’m in patching a test server and I hit a couple snags so it’s taken a bit longer than I thought it would, but it still hasn’t been bad. Right now I’m just watching a sql script run – which I get to do 2 more times and then run another one 3 times. After that I can go.
Each time I do one of these I learn something new. So it is a worthwhile exercise aside from the benefit to the organization.
Next week is the biggie. Patch the production RAC cluster. That ought to be fun.
