We often need to check the features installed in our database for various reasons such as complying licensing, audit report and so on. There are different ways to find the it and the same it listed below

There are various ways to know which options are installed on your oracle database. Below is some.

1. Using DBA_REGISTRY:

We can use DBA_REGISTRY view mostly to find out the components installed with it’s status
15:05:35 SQL> set line 200;
15:05:48 SQL> set pagesize 9999;
15:05:48 SQL> col COMP_ID format a15;
15:05:52 SQL> col COMP_NAME format a50;
15:05:55 SQL> select COMP_ID,COMP_NAME,STATUS from dba_registry;
15:05:34 SQL> /

2. Using v$option:
 
We can use v$option to view the components installed, this view is useful to list the Oracle components installed to the database
15:06:00 SQL> set line 200;
15:07:59 SQL>  set pagesize 9999;
15:08:02 SQL> select * from v$option;
15:08:11 SQL>  select * from v$option order by parameter;

PARAMETER                                                        VALUE
—————————————————————- —————————————————————-
Advanced replication                                             TRUE
Application Role                                                 TRUE

We can also use the  OUI (./runInstaller or setup.exe according to the OS) in the path $ORACLE_HOME/Db_1/oui/bin to find the list of the Oracle components installed to the database
