Hi All, According to the instructions there is no need to run the sql in the database if it is created from scratch after the PSU has been applied to an oracle_home. This also means the registry$history does not get any entries to see which PSU has been applied. Short of comparing db creation date and PSU patch date is there a query I can execute in the database that will give me the PSU level applied to the home from which the database was created? <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 2.3.4 Post Installation Instructions for Databases Created or Upgraded after Installation of PSU 10.2.0.4.3 in the Oracle Home These instructions are for both non-RAC environments and RAC environments when a database is created or upgraded after the installation of PSU 10.2.0.4.3. You must execute the steps in Section 2.3.3.1, "Loading Modified .sql Files into the Database"" and Section 2.3.3.2, "Recompiling Views in the Database" for any new database only if it was created by any of the following methods: Using DBCA (Database Configuration Assistant) to select a sample database (General, Data Warehouse, Transaction Processing) Using a script that was created by DBCA that creates a database from a sample database Cloning a database that was created by either of the two preceding methods, and if Section 2.3.3.1, "Loading Modified .sql Files into the Database" and Section 2.3.3.2, "Recompiling Views in the Database" were not executed after PSU 10.2.0.4.3 was applied Upgraded databases require that you perform the steps in Section 2.3.3.2, "Recompiling Views in the Database" if these steps have not previously been performed; otherwise, no post-installation steps need to be performed. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Jack van Zanen ------------------------- This e-mail and any attachments may contain confidential material for the sole use of the intended recipient.
