OK, so Oracle DBAs are not patching their databases. Why does that happen?I can see a number of factors here:- Bad security professionals that believe that "Oracle is very secure" and just worry about patching Microsoft, the source of all evil things in earth.- Terrorist DBAs that are always saying that "patching the DB shouldn't be done, it's working now and it will stop for sure if we try it"- Bad press, making a lot of noise about patches for one product but putting Oracle mass patch releases in very small headlines.Put those together and you'll see what happens on most organizations.
