Oracle Patchset Reporting

select comments from sys.dba_registry_history where version is not null and action_time = (select max(action_time) from sys.dba_registry_history where version is not null );

Oracle Patchset Analysis

Identify the patchset of the Oracle Install Home– Patch number and install date are available from OMS Repositories or

opatch lsinventory command

– the Oracle Install Home patch number maps to the oracle patchset based on Oracle Support Document 753736.1

Ex: Patch Number 14727310 maps to Patchset 11.2.0.3.5

Database patchset queried from dba_registry_history

Databases without patchset version in registry are mapped to a patchset by taking the Oracle Install Home’s patchset at the time the Database was upgraded or installed into the home.
