access to patch sets
I need some patches for my database because the listener dies.
The link to the patchsets http://www.oracle.com/technology/support/patches.htm at
http://www.oracle.com/de/support/index.html is dead.
Metalink doesn't exist anymore. I get redirected to support.oracle.com.
support.oracle.com asks me for "Oracle Support Identifiers", but doesn't accept any of my CSIs for registration.
Give me a place to download patches hassle-free for my professional database.
The alternative, and I'll start research today: Running towards the next GPL'ed database (MaxDB, whatever) as fast as I can.
(I thought about that a lot the last year, with Oracle pathetically failing to see customer needs for years now. This situation is starting to make it a business necessity.)
