How do I find all patches applied to a DB
Hi,
Compare a working DB Version and Patch Sets between two databases.
Is there a query? or how?

yes, OPatch dir is there
what is
.patch_storage
what is
.patch_storage
>>yes, OPatch dir is there
Then it is a user writes issue. You need to be oracle or in the dba group.
>>what is .patch_storage
Don't know.

Sorry, I implied you would add the other expert's parameter, as follows:
[myuser@mydb ~]$ $ORACLE_HOME/Opatch/opatch
[myuser@mydb ~]$ $ORACLE_HOME/Opatch/opatch

Does a Central Inventory db have to be setup in the beginning?

What I meant earlier about the dba registry not showing Patch 12726556: LAUNCHING APEX FROM FORMS NAVIGATOR was..
I was wanting to see the Patch numbers if possible that were applied.
We applied Patch 12726556 and so I wanted to see what else was applied.

So is OPatch the only way to get the patch history?

Yes, it is too bad OPatch doesn't have a GUI to add manual patch items to it for record sake although it would only be as good as the user :)
Our DBA got the OPatch working beautifully!
He had to log in as root and point the Central Inventory to the right place. We have several in our environment.
Thanks for the help All!
