升级Oracle 单实例数据库19.3到19.7

通过vagrant box安装的19c数据库版本为19.3，本文描述将其升级到19.7的过程。

按照文档Master Note for Database Proactive Patch Program (Doc ID 756671.1)下载19.7 Patch：Patch 30783543。

$ ls -l /vagrant/p30783543_190000_Linux-x86-64.zip
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 vagrant vagrant 1339580579 Jun  8 14:31 /vagrant/p30783543_190000_Linux-x86-64.zip

解压文件到临时目录。这是一个Combo patch，因此需要进入两个子目录分布安装。

opatch执行程序的路径在$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch下。

安装Patch前，停止数据库服务和监听服务

可以先安装较小的OJVM ：
