nah! error checking is for wimps... more seriously the issue that I have is that opatch is for one-offs. Some one offs require other setup steps than just opatch - and might require for example earlier one-offs to be rolled back first. The whole idea of performing multiple one-off patches to a db install just seems wrong to me. If you've waited long enough for there to be multiple one offs can't you wait long enough for the patchset?
