How to check Oracle fixes?

Question

How to verify that all services and patches are installed in Oracle?

I have Oracle 10.2.0.2.0 version Oracle 10.2.0.2.0 db and you want to install the fixes. I also want to get a list with all services and patches.

Answer 1

Here's an article on how to check and install new fixes:

To find the Start tool, configure the database environment variables, and then run the command:

 cd $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch > pwd /oracle/app/product/10.2.0/db_1/OPatch 

To indicate that all patches apply to your database, use the lsinventory parameter:

 [ oracle@DCG023 8828328]$ opatch lsinventory Oracle Interim Patch Installer version 11.2.0.3.4 Copyright (c) 2012, Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.

To view patches using sql:

 select * from registry$history; 

Answer 2

I understand that the original post is for Oracle 10, but this is for reference someone else who finds it through Google.

In Oracle 12c, I found that my $ registry registry is empty. This works instead of:

 select * from registry$sqlpatch; 

Answer 3

Maybe you need sys. before:

 select * from sys.registry$history;
