    If you are on unix, do this on shell prompt

    Code:
    $ inspdver
    It will list you all the installed product.

    How in the world would database know which Oracle products you have installed?????

    For example, how would it know if you have SQL*Plus installed or not? Or ODBC driver? Or Forms? Or ......

    When you run universal installer, have you ever noticed that it asks for any database password if you want to install new product? I guess not. So how would the system be able to record installed products into the database (into which database???) if it doesn't connect to the database?

    Cool

    Use the Oracle Universal Installer to see the list of all installed Oracle components, including their versions. You can also create TXT report from the GUI for later reference and archive.

    On Windows you can also look into C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\Components - where all installed components are being recorded.

    Hope that helps,

    Glad to hear from u Sonia

    "How in the world would database know which Oracle products you have installed????? "

    -----Fine, I agree that while installing Oracle, no password/database is asked for. But then if no information is registered for the database, how do we get some info(if not all) in PRODUCT_COMPONENT_VERSION. Where do u think this info come from?

    This are clearly compoinents that are part of the database and are registered during database creation. So not during software instalation (as other Sonia asked for), but during database creation/configuration.
