Go to metalink.oracle.com

2.login into metalink

3.click patches on the left side

Then,"simple search"

search by --->product/family
click on the torch like icon--view all-->Oracle database family

Release-->8.1.7
Patch type--->patch set/Minipack

select the OS type-->64 bit

Then from the list you can get

Oracle Database Family: Patchset
8.1.7.4 PATCH SET FOR ORACLE DATA SERVER

Quote/
"Note:If you are running 32 bit Oracle on 64 bit OS then choose download of 32 bit platform"


To check whether oracle is 32 bit or 64 bit

Just do a
svrmgrl

That should give you 64 bit or 32 bit

4. Click Go.
5. Select the patch for the appropriate product version.

They are right.
I was wrong, too hasty.
Please, no points.

Andrea,

I suggest you creat a TAR and request the patch on CD.
I never managed to download such a big patch.

Rgds,
Jean-Luc
