Explanation

Before updating Oracle Database software, you need to download the Patch Set Update (PSU) from Oracle support. A PSU is a collection of critical and security patches for Oracle products. You need to have a valid Oracle account and access to the My Oracle Support portal to download the PSU. You also need to check the compatibility and prerequisites of the PSU before applying it to your Oracle Database software. NDB uses out-of-place patching for Oracle, which means you need to create a new software profile version with the patched Oracle software and use it to update your existing databases.
