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.
