Nope. Not since oracle killed the ftp server they used (ftp://oracle-ftp.oracle.com).

I think I veer towards Yechiel's view here Patrice. I am not sure I have
ever heard anyone suggest applying all outstanding relevant patches to a
database however much you test first. (To be honest you are not advocating
that, just raising the question).

John - Excellent points.
Patrice - One factor to consider is that patches tend to be tested very
little by the software vendor. Full releases get tested extensively, but
even then there are gaps, because well, we wouldn't be having patches
otherwise.
