The Supplemental Patch Bundle (SPB), formerly known as the Oracle Spatial Patch Bundle, provides Oracle-recommended patches for specialized components like Oracle Spatial and GoldenGate. Amazon RDS customers can apply these patches to new or existing Oracle database instances running specified engine versions through the AWS Console.

Additionally, AWS offers Organizations upgrade rollout policies for staged minor version upgrades, enabling controlled validation across environments. This patch support facilitates keeping RDS Oracle environments aligned with Oracle's recommended maintenance updates, though specific patch content efficacy is determined by Oracle's advisories.
