Fpayne,
If this is a 11.5.x to 11.5.8 upgrade, then this might be a single =
patch,
and you may not be able to merge it... On the other hand, you might =
want to
check Metalink for extra patches that 'patch-the-patch' for recently
discovered issues. A true and tested option is to look for long running =
SQLs
and search using them as a string in (the recently renamed) =
MetaStink.....
