Good afternoon all,

Is there any way of telling which individual patches have been applied to a database?

For instance I am running 8.1.7.4 (on Solaris 8) and have just applied patch 2832809 following a recent security alert. When I query v$version it still shows as 8.1.7.4.0. How would anybody know that I have applied this patch?

I can find no reference to the patch number in ../oraInventory/Patches.

Many thanks,
Liam
