New Time Zone Patch DST V18 is available
- by Mike Dietrich
Sorry for not updating the blog more often at the moment - but more updates will come soon as I play around with Oracle Restart and single instance databases in ASM with Oracle 11.2.
Just on the side there's a new time zone patch to DST V18 available since May 2012. You can download it via PATCH download from MOS with the patch number: 13417321
What do you think? Will Lufthansa operate a faster jet the other night? Will the jet stream be more powerful? Or a better type of fuel?

And please see the readme about how to apply the patch and our slides about why time zone patching may be important even in your environment
