Applying database schema changes
If a hotfix package includes database schema changes, you can choose whether to apply the schema with the other hotfix changes or in a separate step. If you choose a separate step, you can generate an SQL script so that a database administrator can review the changes and manually apply them to the database.
If you do not manually apply these SQL changes, the hotfix installation process applies them.
Your database administrator can use the SQL script to apply the database changes manually.
