Re: Rolling back CPUOct2006 to re-install question

We installed the CPUOct2006 patch and had major issues. Since we had so

need to do
to install the patch successful in our production environment in a
limited-time frame.
We would like to rollback the patch (installed and running on TEST
system for a week), so we
can re-install the patch for timings, procedures, etc.  Can we be able
do this? Is
there any issue of DD corruption or is this advisable to try this?  We
would
not want to recover the database to a point in time before, just
rollback the patch
and start the procedures to install the patch again from the start.

Thoughts?  Thanks in advance.

simplest way is to restore the database to the version before the
patch and then reaply.  you did take a cold backup before installing
the patch didn't you?;-)  if you don't have a backup, i'm not sure
that you can rollback the patch if you've done anything since it was
installed.

i'm sure someone will correct me if i'm wrong about it.
